Constanzo
Farm, Inc. was originated in 1915 by Tony Constanzo Sr. after
coming to the United States from Italy. Tony Sr. and his family
settled in the San Antonio area and bought property in southwest
Bexar County. Tony Jr. took over the business in 1932, selling
produce to local grocers on a cash basis. At this time they
are the one of the oldest producers in San Antonio--68 years.
Mae, Tony Jr.'s wife, and Mary Ann, their youngest daughter,
joined the family business in 1982. They enjoyed great success
working as a team to build the farm to what it is today. Mary
Ann is now running the farm. She organizes orders, sales, and
buyers, and handles the accounting. The daily planting, picking,
and filling of orders demanded additional attention.
The
Constanzo's hired Brad Stull, a Texas A&M Graduate, to help
with daily operations, set up and delivery of orders, and to
manage the pesticide control program in order to give its customers
the best quality product. Brad is in his fourth year with Constanzo
Farm. Constanzo Farm now buys from six local farmers, giving
them the opportunity to be a part of a larger operation and
sell on a scale they would not otherwise be able to compete.
The Farm has two refrigerator
trucks for delivering produce to buyers. Our current base includes
H-E-B, Fresh From Texas, and local Markets. Constanzo Farm employee
numbers ranges from 3-20 people depending on crop and season.
In addition,
Constanzo Farm works with contracted harvesters to meet the
growing market. The Farm is in operation 365 days of the year
and delivers produce 7 days each week regardless of weather
conditions. Constanzo Farm, Inc. has earned the reputation of
a reliable, reputable, and honest company.
