This week Stephen and Brian talk about the conditions of product coming out of the fields, local schools and local produce, and somehow convinced a nice woman (Alexandra Ross) from a local fresh food distributor in Ohio (Premier ProduceOne) to let us interview her.

This week we talk about fresh produce offered to schools, the situation of some common crops and products, and Sean Azzelio from PROACT stops by the studio to give us the rundown on what it takes to make a great strawberry.

This week we talk about apples, In-N-Out protein style burgers, and introduce our brand new format and segments for the show.

The Colorful Plates Podcast has listeners covered when it comes to fresh produce. Tips & tricks, seasonal opportunities, interviews with industry pros, and more, the Colorful Plates podcast is a fun and engaging look at what's happening in the world of produce.

This week we talk way too much about peaches and Stephen's wife makes a rare cameo.

This week we look at partnering with farms and distributors for menu planning, how onions are harvested and stored, and of course an update on what's happening in the produce industry that may impact your menus.
