Its not as if we don't do anything during the winter... its just not very visual...
The weather has been 'interesting'. We have had cold weather and warmer weather. We like to put on a winter flood to make a layer of ice to protect the cranberry vine. A mild spell made that easy for us...we were able to hold water to make the ice and then release the water allowing the ice to sit on the vine. The ice prevents the vine from descicating and also traps gasses (CO2) under the ice that displace damaging gasses such as eytnline.
I went to visit some clients, did some sampling at the freezer for
a client and also visited some stores that carry our product. It is interesting to see how our product is sold in the larger mass market stores as well as the smaller stores...
We also went to the Farm Equipment Show to see what is new in the industry. It is important to keep current. We also attended the Food and Beverage show. Again this gives us a chance to see what is up and coming and what others in the juice business. Its also a chance to network with others in the industry. There were a number of interesting displays at the show... including this one...
