A Fresh Advantage: Co-op helps small farms market produce to high-end restaurants

摘要

While on a business trip for her off-farm job, Laurie Moore was reading an airline magazine when she came upon a restaurant review of an eating establishment back home. When she returned home to Woodland, Ala., Moore stopped to see the chef and talk some business. The meeting was the start of a business relationship that allows Moore and her husband, Will, to sell fresh farm produce directly to high-end restaurants, where chefs are committed to "slow foods" cooked from scratch with the freshest, locally grown ingredients.
