What's New At Peddler's Son Produce?

My fans have asked the question, "What's new at Peddler's Son Produce?"

The answer...we are moving towards going GREEN.



We at Peddler's Son Produce are making the conscious effort to help our environment. We have joined up with Allied Waste and started a recycling program. Instead of just having a trash container, we also now have a recycling container on our grounds. In our warehouse we have brand new bright yellow recycling containers so that our employees can segregate recyclables from regular waste. It's really surprising to see how much recycle material is accumulated each day in our warehouse. I also have an appointment scheduled for next Monday with a supplier of greener, more energy efficient lighting. It's rumored that the sales staff has cut back to showering only twice a week in an effort to conserve water. (I won't be investigating that rumor.)

Today I actually got to leave the warehouse for a little while. I enjoyed a great lunch with Jill, our Marketing Director. She had to pay up for a bet that was made during the college football season. We went to Scott's Generation Deli on 7th Street and Missouri. This was my second time visiting the establishment. My friend Candace took me there the first time. On my first visit I had the Monte Cristo, which was very good. Today I had the french dip, which was excellent. A lot of meat and a hearty au jous. Jill tried to tackle the tuna sub and only got half of it down. Funny, that even though Jill now works for a produce company, she ordered her sandwich without tomatoes.

For those of you that follow my life outside of work. I had a great time at the Art Laboe Love Jam last Friday with Helen. Helen and I have been spending a lot of time together and she's a real special person. I hope to write more about her in my blog, so stay tuned.

  1. Love that we're working out way to being a 'green' company! Tomas Carillo has some other suggestions on his blog http://www.tomascarillo.com. AZ Green Dining talks about restaurants involved in green efforts at http://www.azgreendining.com. He has some other suggests other places for green info too like Green Drinks http://akagreen.com/news.php?id=22, an organization that meets the first Tuesday every month. Any other thoughts or ideas?

    By the way, I do like tomatoes, just not on sandwiches. They make the bread soggy.

    Does this mean you'll be buying green shirts now Bridge?
