The Reality of a Dream

More than 100 years ago, three ambitious and hopeful Italian immigrants chased a dream straight into the harbor of New York City. It was there, amid scores of excited, shouting passengers that the first leg of their voyage ended, and the bigger journey began.

The New World offered the three brothers (David Peri’s grandfather and his great uncles) the simple promise of opportunity -- that with a little luck and a lot of hard work, they could one day have farmland of their own.

It is still amazing to think that David’s grandfather’s quest to farm in America, would eventually lead to the family farm we have today -- one of the biggest seed-to-store onion operations in the world.

Sparked by the Peri brothers’ dream, more than a century ago, today’s farm is thriving and positioned to continue Growing Good Things for generations to come. There have been many milestones along the way and many more to come.
