WHITESTM LIKE NO OTHER
In addition to being beautiful, our Nevada WhitesTM are full of flavor and surprisingly, they generally taste sweeter than most Spanish yellow onions. The unique climate of the Mason Valley, with its warm dry days and crisp clear nights, helps to give our onions their unique pearlescent coloring, globe shape and firm feel. Nowhere else do white onions grow like ours do here.
SUSTAINABLY GROWN
Our heritage of earth-friendly farming and land stewardship spans back three generations. Even in the early days of establishing Peri & Sons Farms, David Peri understood that the livelihood of the business, and of those who depended on the success of his business, was directly tied to the health and well-being of the environment.
We strive to continually improve efficiency in every aspect of our business. While we consider ourselves caretakers of the land, just as importantly, we understand the importance of taking care of our people. In addition to becoming a cleaner, more efficient and environment-friendly farm, we proudly provide programs designed to enhance worker welfare and wellbeing.
