Pero Family Farms Food Company, formerly Pero Vegetable Company is a Sales, Marketing and Distribution group and a part of an American-based agricultural corporation headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida.
Pero is a large U.S. pepper grower, packager, marketer and shipper. Pero produces bell peppers (green, red, yellow and orange), specialty peppers (such as chili, pimiento, jalapeño, and cubanelle), cucumbers, squash, zucchini, green beans, eggplant, pickles, cabbage (red and green), cantaloupe and honeydew.
