History
Selling produce is not just a business, it's a family tradition. This tradition dates back to the 1930s when Andy's grandfather, Jake Pizzolato, started the first fruit stand in Baton Rouge. Since then, Andy has expanded the family business into Southside Produce. Southside Produce was started in 1987 in Denham Springs. After Andy's father, Harry, sold Fruitland in 1992, he joined forces with Andy to open the current location of Southside Produce on Perkins Road in Baton Rouge. They have transformed a once 300 square foot store into a 24000 square foot facility, making it the largest open air market in the south. Southside Produce prides itself in providing customers with only the freshest and highest quality of fruits and vegetables. Carrying a wide variety of specialty products, such as jams and local honey, you can find whatever you may need. Southside Produce has the best prices and the best quality around.
