Field Trip!! Berkeley Bowl West

The kind people of Berkeley Bowl West had us over for a lecture/discussion/demo on fruits/vegetables/herbs today just 2 miles up the road. Produce supervisor Caesar and general manager Bev Hop took turns enlightening trainees on the ins and outs of local produce.

Pictures!
