GREEN GOODS
Expand Your
Vegetables Offerings
Beyond the Ordinary
Consider extending your selection to include vegetables that call
out to customers' creativity as a chef, preserver and gardener.
By Jeannine Bogard
T
here will always be that core group of vegetables everyone
wants and is willing to seek out - the varieties that their
grandfather grew, their mother canned, or their neighbor
shared. However, be prepared for vegetable gardeners who have
evolved to become culinary adventurers or want to challenge their
growing skills.
To stand out from the standard local mass market selection, look
to expand your garden center vegetable category with varieties that
align with food and garden trends.
Healthy Snacks from the Garden
Bite-sized and easy-to-prepare snacks continues to be on trend - and
what could be easier than picking ready-to-eat fresh snacks right
off the plant? Cherry and cocktail tomatoes, snacking peppers, mini
cucumbers, and snap peas are top sellers in the produce aisle and
will do very well in the garden center, too. All-America Selections
has awarded several varieties that fit this category with AAS Winner
status: snap pea 'Snak Hero', cucumber 'Green Light', tomato
'Candyland Red' and pepper 'Just Sweet' are recent winners.
