George Perry and Sons, Inc. is a family business that began
over seventy-
five years ago. Delphino Perry who was an immigrant
of the Azores Islands started the business. Delphino came to
the United States when he was sixteen years old to begin a
new chapter in his life that started with farming. 
He established
a dairy in 1925 and began farming, which laid the foundation
of what later would become George Perry and Sons, Inc. With
each generation the family business has strengthened. George
Sr., Delphino's son, worked extremely hard alongside his father.
In 1963, the family decided to sell the dairy and direct 100%
of their efforts to farming.

In 1965, George continued his efforts
to find ways to expand the family business. He began by buying
and selling watermelons and pumpkins from local growers to supplement his farm in
order to fulfill the increasing demand from customers. The
partnership began in 1965 and later incorporated in 1974. The Perry family
not only increased production through expansion in farming

but also strengthened the business by becoming one of the
largest shippers and handlers of watermelons and pumpkins
throughout California. With the continued increase in demand, our family
built relationships with growers and shippers from Mexico
to Central California. This has enabled us to supply watermelons
and squash 365 days a year to our customers.

The Perry family has grown over the years
and now has the fourth generation working alongside George
Sr. and his family. We
contribute our success to having a solid foundation built
from our faith in God, the family unit, and to the community
that
surrounds us. Our family also values a very special group
of people whom we consider as our extended family. They consist
of all our growers, shippers, buyers and employees.

Our family
knows that without our faith in God and the support of these
people that we could not be successful. For these reasons
we
would like to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts.
We look forward to the future and thank you for being part
of our family.
Thank you and God Bless. |
