Produce News Update Hello everyone and Happy New Year!! We are so happy to have you back from break and hope everyone enojoyed their time off. Just think, Spring Break will be here before we know it!! Are you ready for S N O W ? ? ? Anyway this is sometimes a time when we tend to apple and orange the kids to death!! Apples are a great choice and some still remain local. Oranges are excellent at this time and the very sweet pineapple variety of oranges will start soon. Tangerines and tangelos still remain great!! Kiwi is a great choice and also don't forget cantaloupes and honeydew!! Grapes are a little high at the moment but should come down very soon. Try a different color or variety of apple to change things up a bit!! Try slicing golden ripe pineapple from Hawaii. It is easy to do and very cost effective. The schools that have tried it tell us it is a favorite with the kids!! Your general items remain the same with quality and price at a good level to order and serve. Star fruit is very reasonable so don't forget to use your star fish in the sea!! You know how the kids love it!! Don't forget those kiwi wedges and sweet potato sticks for the added vitamin C for cold and flu season!! Also, broccoli is an excellent sounce of vitamin A and C!!! Thank You, Donald A.
