Every time we decide the SKUs we carry, the varieties we plant, the ads we set, we’re telling consumers rather than educating them, allowing them to understand the real value of produce. 

The mindset of the consumer is different than that of someone in the produce industry.

Earth shattering? No, but the way we go about curating the produce experience, you’d think that everything is available all the time. 

How many of the alphabet generations even understand the seasonality of produce?

Meghan Diaz of Sprouts Farmers Market and Todd had a great time chatting about perceptions, perspectives, the value of anticipation, and taste on today’s Todd-versations.

What is the looming external threat to organic today? Is it CRISPR-Cas9?

What is the biggest internal threat to organic today? Is it an inability to build consensus?

Todd and Max Goldberg discuss these issues and more on today‘s Todd-versations. Shocker, they have differences of opinion in several areas. They agree that it is imperative you get on the dance floor and become informed on the things that affect what you eat, from how your food is grown to the impact of technology and enforcement.

Value your food. Value your farmer.
