Spotlight on Vince Ferachi

Some parents struggle to get their kids to eat fruits and vegetables, but not the ones running the Ferachi household, writes Moriah Purdy in the August issue of 225. Ferachi is the subject of the August issue’s “Winners,” and he grew up surrounded by strawberries, cucumbers, squash and Louisiana satsumas. As owner of Capitol City Produce, a company his father founded in 1947, Ferachi is the recipient of the 2013 Grace “Mama” Marino Lifetime Achievement Award. He will be honored during Fęte Rouge later this month. For more details on the event, check out this article. For more on Ferachi, click here.
