Organics
in Alaska
Alaska may
be known for its oil, wildlife, dark nights and cold winters,
but there’s a lot more to The Last Frontier than meets the
eye. Take, for example, Calypso Farm and Ecology Center.
Asparagus
Cannery to Close
Unless a major miracle sprouts up somewhere, the world’s
largest asparagus processing plant will be shutting its doors
for good next year, putting over 1,000 employees out of work
in the process, the majority of those seasonal.
- Low-Carb
Potato Introduced
With low-carb diets sending potatoes onto the menu of taboo dinner
items, growers are seeing decreased demand and decreased value of
the once-prized American staple. But a new variety being grown in
Florida could help reverse the anti-spud attitude of late.
