OUR HISTORY

Since then we have expanded our farming acreage to more than 3,000 acres today. In addition, we specialize in hothouse rhubarb and are a major packaging and distribution center for the Midwest. Ownership of Mike Pirrone Produce shifted to the DeBlouw family in 2012. We have taken great pride in providing for the needs of our customers while remaining true to the foundation and values our company was built on. Together with Berville Farms LLC and Pirrone Family Farms, Mike Pirrone Produce will continue to adapt and evolve its services while placing an emphasis on innovation in our food safety, production, packing, and shipping.

"The Food Bank of Eastern Michigan first partnered with Mike Pirrone Produce in 2012.

It has been a valued relationship from the first day I met Henry DeBlouw. Right from the start Henry and
the whole group at Mike Pirrone Produce became a full partner of the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan
with our mission of helping feed the people in need.

The first year we received 370,234 Lbs. of produce, every year after that we have received over one
million pounds per year for a total of 6,875,000 pounds of fresh produce to help the people in need.
That equals over 5,729,000 meals we have been able to distribute just from Mike Pirrone Produce for
the last six years.
​
Mike Pirrone Produce has gone above and beyond helping the Food Bank in its mission of feeding the
hungry. It has become more than a business relationship, it now seems I’m part of the family."
