At Southern Exposure, Ecoripe will be highlighting tropical produce grown locally, including guava, carambola and sapodilla.
“The Redland agricultural area boasts a great selection of produce, especially exotic fruits and vegetables not grown elsewhere in the U.S.,” Holbik pointed out. “Other locally grown produce we carry includes lychees, longans, dragonfruit, mamey, sugar cane, and green coconuts.”
“We will also have on display a wide variety of specialty tropical fruits, vegetables, and roots from Central America and the Caribbean, including long Chinese eggplant from our farm in Guatemala,” he added.
“We look forward to sharing our selection of tropicals and locally grown produce, and working together to develop successful programs with our current and new retail partners.”
