I agree with Richard. Locally grown quality should provide a qualititative advantage over west coast product. While they have some advantages, quality shouldn't be one of them. It should be your first negotiating point with chefs. If they can't tell the difference, there is a reason (among many) for that.

We have found that the chefs we deal with love a seasonally changing mix of salad. Everything is seasonal salad mixes should be also. As to competing against Cali mass produced. We aren't. *IF* you are supplying a local market with properly cooled
and handled mixes and greens your product should CRUSH the mass produced stuff. Our chefs order the trucked stuff on Thursday and toss it on Monday if not used. If they are purchasing from us they can order in smaller quantity at a much higher price because
it LASTS seven to fourteen days. So they can order week to week rather than twice a week.
