I have a grateful and humble heart. Happy Holidays my friends. Thank you for ALL that you do!!! Keep up the great work!!!” (Johnny – December 3, 2009)

• “Yes, I do indeed receive your emails and with the new additions – like Chef ’s Corner I find it more than ever not only helpful but good reading.  Thanks!” (Ray & Peggy – November 18, 2009)

• “I count on your newsletter.  Using Grandpa Sigona’s information I harvested a bunch of different heirloom tomato seeds which I am looking forward to planting next year. I also watch for your recipes.  I cannot survive without all your specialty balsamic vinegars (tangerine is my favorite), my most recent addition is the vanilla bean.  I made a terrific dip for my fresh steamed green beans with the vanilla vinegar…Thanks, I really do consider all of you part of my family and I hope you think the same of me.” (Karen – November 9, 2009)

• “Thanks for taking the time to do your stories, recipes, etc.  I am also of Sicilian Ancestry…both parents’ parents were born in Sicily and as far back as they can trace.  So it is nice being only one nationality…Sicilian.  Thank you and will be visiting soon now that Costco is in the finishing stages.” (Rosemarie – October 8, 2009)

• “Hello all, great that you enjoyed the German Oktoberfest with all its good specialties. And yes, the Germans like to cook and bake with apples – I include them in my Red Cabbage and Sauerkraut as well with Schweinebraten (Roast pork) and Apfelstrudel (apple strudel). Looking forward to taste and buy your apples soon!” (Siglinde – October 7, 2009)

• “I am writing to thank you for the great Marinara sauce you so generously gave Scott and I a couple of weeks ago at the market. We were very impressed by your great customer service and the free items we were given when we spent 50$. Your staff is so friendly and we will definitely return to Sigona’s market soon! We enjoyed the marinara sauce last night on Spaghetti and it did have an amazing flavor!” (Gracy – September 22, 2009)

• “Thanks for the great information…appreciate the effort.  I will be down again soon to shop at Sigona’s. My mother’s father was a gardner in Sicily…that is where all my ancestors originated, on both sides.” (Rosemarie – August 12, 2009)

• “Thank you so much for your help in selecting the BEST and sweetest fruit and food that your store has.  [My son] really looks forward to our shopping trips at Signoa’s — he says to me, “Go ‘gona’s.  See Odie!”  I’m sure he loves going to Sigona’s because you are so sweet to him and give him samples of yummy fruit to eat while I shop. I like going to Sigona’s because you have the best locally grown in season fruits and vegetables!”  (Bernice – August 10, 2009)

• “Perfect timing on your produce  tip article.  We recently started buying fruits and  vegetables from your store.  However, the peaches  are getting soft and mushy before we have a chance to eat  them.  Your article on peaches let me know they need to be placed in  the refrigerator to keep them from over ripening, Thank you.” (The Lagans – July 28, 2009)

• “I drive from the east bay to Sigona’s for the best fruit and produce I have found and the coupon just makes it even better. Thanks.” (Judy – July 22, 2009)

• “Sigona’s is the best – great owners and workers, great products and services! Walking into Sigona’s is like walking into a giant hug from the fabulous workers to the fresb fruits and vegetables. Sigona’s is always so lively from the curious customers, music jams, vivid produce colors, sales, friendly staff and juicy fruit samples – talk about fiesta!…” (Johnny – July 21, 2009)

• “OMG – great newsletter and love the coupons – a real incentive for my family to come shop Signona on a regular basis and spend more $ with you too… plus love your increasing variety of offerings including chicken!  Keep up the great work and fresh produce…Best regards, Roger.” (Roger – July 6, 2009)

• “Just wanted to drop you a line to say how much we appreciate the informative newsletter, recipes, and coupons. We do almost all of our grocery shopping at Sigona’s and value the quality, selection, and variety. The newsletter (and all the goodies it contains) is an added plus! Thanks Sigona’s–Lindsay.” (Lindsay – June 19, 2009)

• “My name is Shirley and you were so nice to come over to me on Friday last to introduce yourself, and help me with my decisions. I know you probably introduce yourself to many many customers, of which I think is such a nice habit to have. Hopefully your store will continue that practice in the future.  It really makes one feel special to have a ‘contact’ with your patrons. And I also thank you for the Sigona’s shopping bag and the little bag of dried Mango. Driving home in the rain, eating the Mango, made me smile at the contact.  So thanks once again. Until I return, Shirley.” (Shirley – May 4, 2009)

• Hello, thanks for the crackers and brie.  With Costco closed i might not have driven over there, but what would I do without fresh veggies?  Anyway, Thanks for the inducement to come by. (Tim from Woodside – May 2, 2009)

• “I recently visited your market last Friday and was VERY impressed with your produce and selections! I told one of the employees there that I would move to California just to have food like this all the time! Your employees were all very friendly and knowledgeable and I have never been more impressed with fresh produce in my whole life! I think you should consider opening up a farmers market in Minnesota!!” (Brittney – April 30, 2009)

• “Hi, I love your descriptions of the farmers and the special fruit and why it’s special. I’m really glad I signed up for your newsletter and I feel very fortunate to have Sigona’s in my area! Robina.” (Robina – March 25, 2009)
