The 2024 Floral Industry Events and Floral Conventions Calendar, another industry collaboration brought to you by Above All Flowers & New Bloom Solutions, has been officially released.

January and February are noted as the slowest retail food sales months following the year-end holidays. One good thing about the food business is that consumers have to eat.

Villita Avocados Inc., a Pharr, TX-based distributor of avocados, will make history in the produce industry when it begins fulfilling orders utilizing specially made produce bags that are 100 percent plastic-free and compostable.

Colorful desserts will not only appeal to the eye but also provide diverse flavors and textures when incorporating natural sweetness.
