Quality & Responsibility

The new year is upon us. With all the economic turmoil swirling about, we’ve begun to take inventory of what we value here at Barry Food Sales as we enter out 32nd year of business. Quality and responsibility were two that came up: the importance of offering quality products to our customers and the responsibility of ensuring satisfaction no matter what.

In our discussions here, we came across an interview with Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia, in SKI Magazine from earlier this year. Chouinard, a lifetime outdoorsmen, environmentalist, and businessman, said, “Every time I’m stumped with a business problem, it doesn’t matter what it is, the answer is always increase the quality. Always…Whether it’s the quality of employee benefits or the product itself.”

Yes! we said. Isn’t this what business should be about? Treating people fairly, putting quality – and a responsibility to upholding that quality – above all else. So as the page turns on 2011 and we begin another year of partnership with you our valued customers, the Barry Food Sales team plans to continue bringing you the best products and doing business responsibly.
