| Two legendary families in the California fresh and processed fruit industry,the Mariani Family and the Stonebarger Family, have come together to form Maristone . The two families have a long history for over a century for quality, innovation, reliability, and honesty.
A scion of the Mariani Family produced wines for the Vatican in the 17th century. In the mid 1800’s immigration and farming began in California for the Mariani lineage. The Paul A. Mariani Jr. Family were innovators in moist ready to eat dried fruit and multi hemispheric growing strategies for supply chain management. Other branches of the family became leaders in walnut and almond industry.
The Stonebarger Family has been leaders in apples, cherries, corn and other specialty products for over 75 years.
Together the two families ship products to 37 countries and to all 52 states in America with a common commitment to quality and service.
