PHILADELPHIA, PA - Procacci Holdings’ Garden State Farm’s recently acquired its competitor and neighbor, A. Vassollo. The two companies, owned respectively by the Procacci and the DiPascale families, have worked together over the years to serve the needs of the produce market.

“It was a natural expansion to our Garden State Farms operation,” said J.M. Procacci, CEO of Procacci Holdings, in a recent press release. “As we continue to expand, our commitment to the market is integral to our growth.”

The press release noted that with this acquisition, Procacci Brothers’ Garden State Farms has four units at the market.
