Patricia Cabral, known as Patty by her family, friends and her many customers, knew in her early years that she would have her own business "as soon as possible".  She soon found that Dried Fruits and Nuts were a perfect match for the Southern California lifestyle all around her.       From that first year, she has built a steady business with double-digit increases year after year since 1999.  She knows that superior product quality is the key to success and is why customers come to her instead of other vendors.
