The People Behind The Produce

Adam Barregarve been a part of our night crew for a year and a half and helps put together customer orders and gets them ready for our drivers to deliver. He sets the orders for Prescott and also helps his brother, Richard, fill the Tucson orders. (Joe and Ted aren't the only set of brothers we have working here at Peddler's Son!) Arizona is home to Adam and he said he enjoys the variety that the state has to offer being close to fishing and snow. He collects hats and says his favorite hat is one with a bald eagle on it that his brother bought him.

What's your favorite part of the job?

I like seeing the warehouse fill up with orders at night and then having all of the orders moved out the next morning. It's the whole process of watching things from the beginning through to the end. It's also been fun to see how much we've grown since I've been here. We've got quality product and a great crew so I think that's why we've done so well.

What is your favorite movie?

My favorite movie is Ace Ventura Pet Detective. It's a funny movie and I think it's Jim Carrey at his best.

What is your favorite music?

My favorite band is Sublime. They have a regge, funky, relaxed mix. Kind of like me. I'm a little bit of everything.

What is your favorite tv show?

I don't really watch TV, I just watch Netflix movies. Nightmare Before Christmas, is also a great movie and I try to watch that whenever I can. The soundtrack is great too. It ties in with the mood and the expressions of the characters really well.

What is your favorite food?

Pizza. Intelligent people enjoy pizza, wings and fried foods! It's the fastest way to get all of the food groups; dairy, meat, veggies and fruit.

What was your first job?
I worked at a Water & Ice store and filled bags of ice and water jugs.

If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? I would have dinner with my grandmother. My mom, grandmother and I used to go to dinner once a week when I was growing up. She passed away when I was 14 so I'd like to have another dinner with her again.

What do you do in your leisure time? I don't have much leisure time right now. I also work trimming palm trees and shade trees when I'm not at the warehouse so I keep pretty busy. I do like to play some video games. Fallout is my favorite game. It has a post-apocalytic and retro-futuristic setting with cars styled after models from the 1950s. I like that. Everything has a classic look.

What is your favorite quote or piece of advice you'd like to share? 'If you're waiting for something, you're not doing anything.' Adam Barregarve

That's my quote and I say it all the time. I like to stay busy.

Adam, Peddler's Son loves your hard work, energy and positive attitude! You make the warehouse a fun place to be!
