Market reports
| May 11 | It’s Mothers’ Day, and that means everyone and their brother goes out for brunch on Sunday. We are OK with that because it means business will be good – maybe. |
| May 4 | It always amazes me how little the general public knows about where and how their food and produce comes from. |
| Apr 27 | As I was walking through the cooler this morning, the thought struck me “What would I come back as if God sent me back as a fruit or a vegetable?” Imagine the possibility, instead of coming back as another person you can come back as something else. |
| Apr 20 | The start of spring is usually a tough time for produce. Most of the early crops are affected by weather and some do not grow on schedule like we would like. Mother Nature does not care that we need Baby Arugula every day- she only goes at her own pace |
| Apr 13 | Spring in Chicago…40 degrees and snow. It is definitely not a good weekend to play golf. |
| Apr 6 | The day of the $5.00 pizza may be gone. If you watch the news lately you have seen the reports of the dramatic increase in flour. |
