There are a few changes happening right now within the family business.

There have always been two parts to the Ontario Peanut business and PICARD PEANUTS

PICARD PEANUTS LTD (1979) (Jim Picard Sr.)

(Windham Centre, Fonthill, Morriston & Woodstock)

PICARD FOODS LTD (1982) (the next generation- John & Renee)

St.Jacobs, Talbotville, Waterdown, Niagara-on-the-Lake & Vaughan (2013)

In September 2012, we were unable to reach a succession plan for the existing businesses.

SO WHAT'S NEXT

John and Renee Picard, who have been with the family business for 30 years, will continue to drive the existing business (J.D.Picard's Incredible Snack Co., Ltd. - St.Jacobs, Talbotville, Waterdown, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Vaughan 2013), forward.  Nothing has or will change within these retail locations

We wish our mother and father all the best in their decision to continue with Picard Peanuts Ltd.
