A Century of Chinchiolo Farming Legacy

From Roots to Blooms

The Chinchiolo family has proudly upheld a century-old farming legacy, starting with Italian immigrant James Joseph Chinchiolo. Each generation has expanded and nurtured their agricultural heritage. Today, James Patrick Chinchiolo continues this tradition with the cherry orchard, Lodi Blooms, keeping the family’s dedication to farming alive and thriving.

Four Generations of Family Farmed Cherries

Founded in 1918, Chinchiolo Farming has been family owned and operated ever since. We pride ourselves in bringing you nature's finest fruits and nuts.

    James Joseph Chinchiolo immigrated from Palermo, Italy to the East Coast, settling in in Massachusetts in 1912 as a fruit dealer. By 1918, he had founded The Chinchiolo Fruit Company with his brothers and set forth the path for future generations of Chinchiolos. Well before the Great Depression, The Chinchiolo Fruit Company, had begun growing grapes, figs, celery, pears, and cherries establishing the family's roots in farming and agriculture.

  • F. James Chinchiolo

    Francis James Chinchiolo, assumed ownership of The Chinchiolo Fruit Company in 1947 and continued the work that his father had started.

  • Thomas P. Chinchiolo
