Lisa Picone and Picone Fine Food

Sharon Theresa: He sold vegetables door-to-door until 1915, when he opened Picone Food Market at 34 King Street West in Dundas, Ont., which is now a part of Hamilton, according to Globe and Mail. The shop sold his own produce and items from other local farmers. Coming from an Italian heritage, working with the land was something he had experience with, says his granddaughter Lisa Picone.

Even after the Picone sisters’ father, Joseph Jr., bought the business from his parents in the late 1970s, the elder Picone remained involved in the store until he was in his late 80s. The store still sells locally grown fruits and vegetables as well artisan breads, meats, imported pastas and olive oils, and foods prepared in house, such as quiches, pastas, salads and desserts.
