September Summary

Wow -- what a month!  Travels to Washington, D.C. for an annual conference with a visit the Philadelphia Int'l Produce Terminal Market then to Newark, DE to visit Produce Marketing Association's headquarters, and Lancaster County to visit a Four Seasons Produce and my former employer Conestoga Wood Specialities.  Knoxville, TN for a University of Tennessee vs. Alabama football the month has gone by quickly.

These pics capture my visit.

Inside the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market. It's a state of the art facility.  A forty degree temperature is maintained throughout the building so that fruit and vegetables stay fresh and tasty.



Procacci Brothers is off the Philadelphia Wholesale Produce Market.  They're one of the largest tomato shippers in the United States. Mr. Joe Procacci, CEO, in his late 80's and still going strong, is in the center of the picture.  His son, J.M. Procacci, COO, is on the far left and Mike Maxwell, President, is on the far right.  My boss, Jim Carr, is to the right of Joe Procacci, and my colleague, Frank Sanchez, is behind me.
