SGS (Scattaglia Growers & Shippers)
Scattaglia Farms, a million-box shipper of stone fruits, was established years ago in Littlerock, CA. Scattaglia Farms owners Louis Scattaglia, John Blalock, Sam Perricone and Bob Witt joined with Bryan Large, Anthony Martino, Derald Rager and Craig Calandra as partners to form SGS (Scattaglia Growers & Shippers). Also joining the company at its founding were Dave Parker, Steve Rusca and Gary Gerner.
The philosophy of SGS is ‘to deliver premium-quality product to the consumer through the best customers possible to enhance the return to the grower”. SGS seeks to achieve that goal by bringing together a small group of selected growers who share that philosophy. They grow, pack and ship California Stone Fruits and Table Grapes under labels Sun Joy, Sun Disk. Peak Value and Scattaglia Farms.
At SGS, based on each individual variety, they wait until optimum brix and pressure levels are present in the fruit before it is harvested. Only by harvesting fruit in this manner can customers be assured of having a great eating experience every time they pick up a piece of SGS fruit. Be it stone fruit or table grapes this strategy has proven itself for over 50 years.
