Ravenna, Ohio-based Sirna & Sons Produce has brought in Allie Sirna as the second member of the Sirna family’s fourth generation to join the company, said Tom Sirna, president.

Allie Sirna is Tom Sirna’s daughter. Her brother, Anthony, also works for the company.

Sirna also recently started a “pick-up program” at its two main, as well as satellite locations, in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Tom Sirna said.

“It has gone very well and, most importantly, the public and our neighbors have embraced it and thanked us,” he said.

“We have started a grab-and-go program for safety purposes and, while still new, I believe will find a niche for cer-tain concepts,” he said.

“We have always been good at looking down the road, stay the course on what we do best, but rein-vent yourself where it makes sense.”
