The Deep of Winter

Most of the country is coming into and out of periods of extreme cold.  To some its normal to others its unusual – to all it causes a time for to slow down.  The food industry is not immune to this experience.  Livestock grow a bit slower (and eat a bit more), vegetable growers, even greenhouses, have a period of rest to break pest cycles and allow for soil revival.  Chocolate factories are working away stocking up for valentine’s day.  Enjoy the winter my friends.  The growth season will be here before you know it.
