the anthony marano company offers a wide selection of exclusive gramma jo’s brand packaged fruits and vegetables
The Anthony Marano Company was founded in 1947 by Anthony, and his wife, Josephine Marano. Today, we are still family owned and operated by Anthony and Josephine’s grandchildren! Gramma Jo treated her employees and customers like family, a belief that we at the Anthony Marano Company hold true today. She was always ready for a cooking tip or trick and amazing family recipes. Josephine and Anthony Marano’s Wedding (1948)
Whether working by her husband’s side on the packing line, selecting tomatoes in the fields, or cooking for our employees, Gramma Jo approached her business with a true passion for produce.
