Saturday we visited the Strawberry Festival at The Produce Place on Murphy Road.  The Ross family are long time supporters of The Produce Place and it was fun to get a few friends together and walk down to sample some locally made treats.

One local company that got my attention was Moose Head Kettle Corn owned and operated by Jack and Carol MacDowall.  The company name stuck out because my father grew up in a small community called Moosehead on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia – and you know how it’s easier to remember a name when you can associated it to something important in your life.  The popcorn stuck out because of the huge variety of yummy flavors (including dill pickle) as well as the fun colors.  My daughter really enjoyed the rainbow color bag.

Ask us about using locally made popcorn in your next Tennessee Gift Basket or stand alone gift tins!

PRODUCT PICK OF THE WEEK – Recyclable Cellophane

Usually I pick a yummy treat, but this week I came across a great video I wanted to share.  During some of my getting-to-know-you meetings I learned my customers were interested in supporting the Green Initiative and I was able to meet their desires by using Nashville Wraps for my cellophane products.  Although I’m not using the biodegradable cello… yet, the product I am using can be recycled and doesn’t have to add to landfills.

Take a journey with Nashville Wraps and see How Plastic Bags Are Recycled:
