Local Market Best for Growers Says Horticulture Expert
C V Holsinger of Iowa State College says local demand drives success for fruit and produce. Well-picked, well-packed goods with local advertising often create strong local sales. Even small displays in nearby stores can move hundreds of bushels, and signs or community papers draw neighbors to pick their own fruit. Examples across the state show growers selling large crops by targeting local buyers.
