#DAYLIGHT #PeachysPantry #WhomYouKnow @NYProduceShow New York Produce Show Takes Manhattan in Its Annual December Show by the Eastern Produce Council and Produce Business, A Smashing Success Says Whom You Know @Sunkist @FoxyProduce @Publix @Naturipe @BaldorFood @BiteBaldor we are counting down!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!  In-season freshness descends upon freezing Manhattan bringing produce cheer once a year at the Javits, and we were delighted to attend and meet new friends and see old ones.  Presented by Eastern Produce Council & PRODUCE BUSINESS, this show is a world-class event in Manhattan and the only produce show & conference in New York.
Sunkist was among the most convincing, and John Slagel, Director of Eastern Sales Operations of Sunkist Growers introduced us to the King of Grapefruits (our term!), Red Pummelo.  Why would you ever have an ordinary grapefruit when you could have a Red Pummelo? 
 We consulted our Citrus Handbook to learn more!
Thank you Brad Blaine of Sunkist for introducing us and your stellar photography skills!
You can look forward to seeing more fine Citrus upcoming, especially to brighten your winter.
 Peachy Deegan and Baldor's TJ Murphy!
TJ and Baldor are THE distributors from Boston to Washington, D.C. starring New York and we cannot WAIT for the next Baldor Bite in a year and half.
 
Meet Foxy!  You know, Foxy Produce, Foxy Organic.  We were delighted to meet the Amaral family and look forward to reviewing more California goodness from this storied brand that started in 1976.
 
 
Naturally, we loved this flag display and we just retweeted the Produce Show's tweet on it.  Among the festivities we attended, we were also thrilled to meet Linda Brockman, author at Produce Business, Wesley Reese of Publix, one of our most favorite grocery stores that we wish was also in Manhattan, and wicked awesome Massachusetts native John Heffernan of Naturipe Farms!  Stay tuned for exciting produce features from the best brands.   Thank you Jodean. We look forward to next year's show in 2019.
