It's the second most wonderful time of the year!

OK,college football is the most wonderful time of the year, but it is closely followed by the wine grape and juice time of the year.

Each fall, we celebrate an Italian tradition of making homemade wine. This will be my third grape season and I look forward to it ever year. For over 10 years, we have sold wine grapes and juice for people to make their own wine. It's fun to watch these customers, many that only speak Italian, pick up their grapes or juice and meet fellow winemakers to discuss last year's vintage. I'm a big fan of wine, so I love to hear what people are making and why.

My brother-in-law is a homebrewer so I've learned a lot about making beer. Of course, I've passed the information on to him to send to his homebrewing friends and will be curious to see if any give wine a try this year.

The grapes and juice usually arrive the beginning of September and we're planning on a September 19th pick up day. Photos and stories will follow soon after.

Do you have any family traditions that you follow? Do you make your own wine? What about 'gravy' or spaghetti sauce?

Hello 2010!

We here at Peddler's Son work on a fiscal calendar. So, that means June 30th marked the end of 2009. There was much to be thankful for over the past year, so we decided to get together at The Duce and I have some pictures to prove it.



The night crew has done a lot to improve efficiencies and quality control. They got a huge round of applause from Ted and the team.




One special award went for our initial inductee to our 'Peddler's Son Produce Hall of Fame'. Teddy Sardina was the recipient of this award. We thanked him for his many years of dedicated service and most of all, his love and friendship.



This also provided the team a chance to say thanks to Joe and Ted for the great work environment and family atmosphere that we have here. A plaque signed by all of the Peddler's Son Produce team was given to Ted and Joe thanking them for all that they do for us.


We'd also like to take this time to thank our customers. Of course, we wouldn't be here without you!
