Back in the early days of D’Arrigo New York, based in the Hunts Point Terminal Market in the Bronx, eastern apples were the only apples the company took, although as it increased into a powerhouse distributor, it expanded into apples from all over.
“The southeast and northeast were where most of our apples came from for quite some time,” said Gabriela D’Arrigo, vice president of marketing for the company. “It’s something that we are very familiar with, something we’ve long supported and something that has long supported us.”
