In 1811, King George III, often referred to as the "mad king who lost America," was declared unfit to rule, leading his son to assume the role of Prince Regent and ushering in the Regency Era in England. This era was characterized by indulgence in excess, lavish parties, extravagant fashion, and opulent food. While Jane Austen's novels have immortalized this period over the past two centuries, it is now the Netflix hit Bridgerton that has captured the modern imagination.
Join John and Patrick as they explore the world of Bridgerton to uncover the role of fresh produce in high society. How did agriculture evolve during this time? Why were the elites obsessed with pineapples? And what surprising connection did celery have to sexual practices?

It was the political and cultural center of the Arab world during its height. The city was a melting pot of cultures, foods and ideas that attracted people from as far north as Scandinavia and as far south as Africa. Within 100 years of its establishment, there were lush gardens, elaborate villas, and great libraries. This was THE city to be in - the 'navel of the world'. The city of medieval Baghdad!
Join John and renowned Iraqi historian and author Nawal Nasrallah, as they uncover the fresh produce scene of golden age Baghdad. What role did food and produce play in the daily lives of this impressive city? Why were vegan dishes referred to as not "real" food? How important was agriculture to this society? And what impact did this city from the 8th century leave on our world today?

Of all the people that have ever lived, about 90% were hunter gatherers. These people were intimately connected with the wild, relying on a diverse array of plants for sustenance, possibly numbering in the hundreds or even thousands. Our ancestors thrived in a world rich in biodiversity. As the human species evolved and developed more advanced tools and technology, their bodies remained relatively the same but their eating habits changed. Trade, colonialism, globalization, wars have all contributed to a world that has seen much of its biodiversity disappear.
Join John and Patrick, along with renowned food journalist and author Dan Saladino, as they explore the history of biodiversity. Together, they will unravel how humanity transitioned from consuming a vast array of plant species to a diet centered around only a few dozen varieties. What historical events shaped this evolution? What consequences does this trajectory hold for our future? And most importantly, why should we be deeply concerned about this shift?

25,000 years ago as glaciers tore their way through North America, they left behind a unique mix of soil that only a few plants would thrive in.

It's a fruit packed with history, wars and innovation.Join John and Patrick as they take us through the barrens of Maine and trace the story of how the wild blueberry became the tamed, cultivated blueberry we all know today.

On the evening of April 14, 1912, passengers aboard the RMS Titanic sat down for what was to be their final meal on the 'unsinkable ship'. At 11:40pm, the Titanic scraped an iceberg and within hours sank to the bottom of the ocean. Today, the Titanic is one of the most romanticized and infamous ship sinkings in history. But what exactly did the passengers and crew eat on board this legendary ship? What do the menus tell us about the cuisine of this period?
What made dining on board the Titanic unique? And how does produce play a role in this unforgettable story?Join John and Patrick as they explore one of the most famous ships in history with a special guest: Titanic-culinary expert and author, Veronica Hinke.

April 11-14, 2024 we will travel to Houston, Texas to participate in The Viva FRESH ANNUAL TRADESHOW! But first, we talk clean eating:

Viva Fresh’s Challenge is our way of taking those first steps into the ‘Eden of Health’ that incorporates fresh produce alongside a healthy lifestyle. Change is possible, and TIPA sees a world where fruits and vegetables are eaten for flavor just as much as for nutrition, and we know that starts with our industry. This is TIPA and Viva Fresh’s “WHY,” and why we are so excited to see the CEC grow every year. We are creating more Champions to show others the road to the Eden of Health. Join coaches and participants talk about their journey.

In this week's episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we chat with a new type of bag company that is changing the way you store produce inside your refrigerator at home. To tell the story correctly, Jordan's mother traveled through Europe on a path to find what could be the most sustainable bag in your fridge. Imagine this, the quality of this bag is so powerful that in the early 1800's medics used it to help clot wounds for soldiers on the battle field.
Our guest Jordan Greig of Ambrosia Linen Refrigerated Bags tells all about the innovative product you want in your home. Who are they you ask? At Ambrosia, our values drive everything we do. We are passionate about reducing food waste in households and promoting equity. As a fair-wage company based in Ojai, California, we are proud to partner with 1% For The Planet.
We go beyond just linen produce bags. Through our partnership with EcoDrive, we plant a tree for every online order we receive. Our commitment to the environment and global community is ongoing and sincere, not just an attempt at greenwashing. Join us in our mission to be better stewards of the planet while finally having the chance to enjoy all your fresh produce.

A paradise island chain in the middle of the Pacific remained in relative isolation for over 1,000 years until the controversial Captain Cook became the first recorded European to encounter what he called the Sandwich Islands. This encounter marked the beginning of the end of the sovereignty of what we now know as the Hawaiian islands.
The story of Hawai'i is a tragic tale of violence, exploitation and imperialism that has food, namely produce, at the very heart of it all.
Join Patrick and John in the first episode of this epic series, as they explore three key moments in the late 18th century that set the course of Hawaii's fate.

In this weeks episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we chat with Liz Sertl of GS1 US. If you don't know about GS1 US......Well they are a global supply chain standards organization with over 2.5 million user companies that generate over 10 billion transactions daily using our standards. Some of the most common standards you may be familiar with is the Global Trade Item Number, the UPC barcode, the GS1 128 barcode (this is what growers/packers use when shipping cases of product) and the Global Location Number among others.
Today, we here from Liz Sertl the Senior Director, Community Engagement, at GS1 US, the not-for-profit information standards organization, and has more than 20 years of experience in the CPG industry.
- Liz facilitates collaboration best practices and guidelines that help companies improve product traceability and supply chain visibility through the adoption of GS1 Standards.
- She also spent more than a decade with Anheuser-Busch in e-business solutions and packaging, where she spearheaded the company’s adoption of GS1 Standards for improved supply chain efficiency and trading partner relationships.
GS1 US oversees businesses in the United States, we are not-for-profit, industry driven and a neutral organization. This status provides industry a safe harbor and un-competitive common ground to come together and discuss supply chain and regulatory issues that they need to solve for the betterment of the entire industry. One major issue that industry is working to solve now is making sure all stakeholders in the supply chain can become compliant with the FSMA 204 final rule that was published last November by the FDA. Impacted businesses have until January of 2026 to be compliant so the industry is working hard to make sure all parties know what they should be doing now.

In this weeks episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we are brining a BIG ISSUE to the table happening in Texas. Did you know that produce crossings take up to 10 days to complete reporting? There was a lot of changes to the rule in 2021 about data/analytics into the country from Mexico into Texas.
There are a team of produce professionals fighting to get this rule changes to be able to have transparency all across the board.
Here from:
Brent Erenwert - Brothers Produce of Houston
Martha Montoya - Ag Tools, Inc.
Amanda Horney - London Fruit Company (Grub Market)
Allison Moore - Fresh Produce Association of the Americas
Dante Galazzi - Texas International Produce Association
Learn from these subject matter experts on how to better our produce community and build a better tomorrow!!
- Market Transparency: The crossings report used to provide near-real-time data on goods crossing the border, giving businesses a clear view of supply and demand dynamics. This information is vital for informed decision-making, price adjustments, and effective inventory management. However, the current 10-day delay in crossing information leaves us in the dark about the current domestic market conditions.
- Informed Purchasing: Importers, such as those in the lime industry, depend on this data to make well-informed purchasing decisions. Knowledge of when and what goods are crossing the border helps them plan their buying strategies, ensuring they can meet consumer demands without overstocking or understocking.
- Predicting Market Trends: The report empowers importers to anticipate market trends by examining the volume and types of goods entering the market. It's a valuable tool for adjusting pricing and production strategies in response to shifting market conditions.
- Consumer Impact: Changes in the crossings report directly affect consumers, influencing the availability and pricing of fresh produce items. Ensuring the accuracy of this information is critical to guarantee affordable access to high-quality goods for the public.
- Economic and National Security: The crossings report isn't just economically significant; it also has national security implications. Maintaining a stable and reliable supply chain for fresh produce is essential to safeguard the nation's food security, given that over 60% of our fruit and 40% of our vegetables are imported into the US.

In 1663, Hendrick Schoonmaker was granted 300 acres of land as payment for his military service in the Esopus Wars (1659-1663). By 1680, the Schoonmaker family was farming the land in what is today Accord, NY and continues to do so today. In fact, Saunderskill Farm is one of very few farms in the nation to receive the “Tricentennial Award” from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Join John as he sits down with 10th generation family member, Jack Schoonmaker, as they discuss over three centuries of history on Saunderskills Farm.

In this episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we are talking all things new products. This is a product that Patrick has never heard of, seen, or even tastes. Our feature guest Brittany Maranger, President of Foragegirl Fiddleheads talks all things about her family owned and operated business, WHAT IS A FIDDLEHEAD and the supply chain that she has built for this product.
Brittany’s background is a bit different than the average farmer. Prior to agriculture, she had a successful career in finance, but it simply wasn’t her passion. Brittany always had great interest in the family business and felt good about the work she did to bring fiddleheads to the market.
For 10 years Brittany knew there would be a day she would trade her high heels for boots, and make the move from finance to farming. Brittany believes in eating local whole foods, connecting with nature and making memories over a meal

In this week's episode of The Produce Industry Podcast with Patrick Kelly we have Geoff Hudson-Searle from episode 23. Two years ago Geoff and Patrick spoke about returning to work from the Covid-19 pandemic and 5 tips for returning to work with a purpose. It was all about purposeful discussions and how to have a better impact when engaging with people! Now fast forward Geoff is releasing his next book "The Trust Paradigm"
Covid-19 is a crucible within which resilient leadership has been refined since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020. Acting without perfect information and no playbook, and often with only a few hours or days to spare, CEOs have had to guide their organizations through the myriad of decisions and challenges that have had significant implications for their company’s whole system: employees, customers, clients, financial partners, suppliers, investors, and other stakeholders, as well as for society as a whole.
At the same time, almost everywhere we turn, trust is on the decline.
Trust in our culture at large, in our institutions and in our companies is significantly lower than a generation ago. Research commissioned in 2020 by International Business and Executive Management found that 69 per cent of employees trust their CEO a little or not at all. Consider the loss of trust and confidence in the financial markets today. Indeed, trust makes the world go round – and right now we’re experiencing a crisis of trust.
Join Patrick and Geoff explore more of their friendship and learn about TRUST!!

On this Memorial Day Holiday on The Produce Industry Podcast we chat with the legendary Bo Jackson about plant-based products, West Coast Produce Expo, and the future of Jackson & Partners, LLC.
As a young boy growing up in Alabama, Vincent “Bo” Edward Jackson, developed his love for food alongside his mother cooking in the kitchen for their family of 10. Over the years, Bo’s passion for food creation grew stronger. After a legendary sport career, he was able to go back to one of his first passions starting several different food companies supplying to the beef and seafood industry.
Over this time Bo and Alex Cook, an industry veteran of food sales and marketing, started working together on creating a series of food products and quickly realized they were in alignment with their food vision of building a multi-protein, value-based food company that operated with responsibility as one of it’s core foundational pillars. Since Jackson & Partners’ inception, the company has become a leader in food and beverage, bringing innovation, technology, and flavor together to help solve restaurant and consumer needs in the marketplace while creating a better way forward for many.

Jen and Patrick talk about this weeks show Viva Fresh and speak to a couple participants that were involved in the Clean Eating Challenge while discussing what this challenge is all about. REMEMBER PEOPLE - if you are in produce you are the front line to consumption!!!!
Our first participant, George Szczepanski is IFPA Director of Membership for Business Service Providers, driving strategy and benefits for this group. George has been a part of the PMA staff for over ten years in the Business Development and Membership teams. George’s health journey used cardio as a proxy for healthy eating for much of his 20’s and beyond. Now, dealing with a back injury that keeps him from running the miles that he used to, it’s time to confront the some of the eating habits that are keeping him from the healthy lifestyle he wants to live… especially to be around for his two small children for many years to come.
Next, the Co-Owner and Partner of Fresh Innovations LLC Jay Alley. In theGrocery / Produce Business for the last 43 years he was excited to be a part of the TIPA Clean Eating Challenge and talk about his journey. Jay says: "I have learned that no one can force you to choose a Healthy Lifestyle, you have to make that decision on your own. While i am doing the Challenge for myself, i am also motivated to do it for my family and hopefully one day Grand Children. I have watched the success that others have had over the last 3 years and i am optimistic about this Lifestyle Change."

Shay is a third-generation farm-kid and so incredibly proud of it. Owyhee Produce grows enough food on THEIR FAMILY FARM to feed literally TEN's of MILLIONS of AMERICANS. "SO COOL!" - says Shay
Shay is the face of the farm and company, he explains "I MUST educate the consumer. I NEED them to understand that THEIR food is grown -AT SCALE- to be inexpensive and SUPER SAFE, but I also need them to understand what MONEY, EFFORT, CARE and PASSION it takes to get all of this done."

In this episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we chat with Jenn Armen, Vice President of Okanagan Speciality Fruit, Inc. and leaders behind the Arctic® Apple Brands. Patrick and Jenn talk about the two products that are available on the market and yes they are "GMO". We discuss the components behind how the apple was made the purpose behind creating and apple for the fresh cut industry.
Grown in orchards in Washington State, Arctic® apples maintain just picked freshness, flavor & color after slicing. Over 40% of apples that are grown end up wasted, often due to superficial browning from bruising and slicing. That’s why they developed Arctic® apple varieties - more apples tasted and less apples wasted. Arctic® apples is the flagship product of Okanagan Specialty Fruits (OSF).
Beyond how it was developed these are trees that now grow this fruit each year for the marketplace. We also learn a bit of about the smell when you open the bag vs. the competitors and how to use these apples in recipes inside the kitchen.

In this episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we journey through two great books and reflect on leadership and some of history's worst decisions. During this episode Patrick is going to bring you The Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make, by Dr. Hans Finzel and a couple stories from Stephen Weir's History's Worst Decisions and The People Who Made Them. As you are starting to wrap up the year think about how you have impacted people and even yourself - what did you do to make a difference? 5 of the most common leadership failures are:
-
The Top-Down Attitude
-
Putting Paperwork Before Peoplework
-
The Absence of Affirmation
-
No Room For Mavericks
-
Dictatorship in Decision Making
Was Napolean wrong for invading Russia? Was it short-term thinking to test nuclear bombs off the coast lines of where future generations would live? The decisions we make today effect all of us in the future regardless if the outcome is good or bad...It still happened. One fact is known, where there is True there will be False, In the dark you will find the light, and success there is failure. Think to yourself that it is not being right or being the light or being the most successful. It it what you do with it afterwards!
Thank you to our dynamite sponsors and catch the next 5 Leadership Mistakes before 2022!!

In this episode of The Produce Industry Podcast w/ Patrick Kelly we chat with two gentlemen that have tackled that WAR ON WEEDS!!! That's right everyone The Carbon Robotics Autonomous Weeder leverages robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and laser technology to safely and effectively drive through crop fields to identify, target and eliminate weeds. Paul discussed many aspects of "WHY" they decided to venture into this space and the problems their machine is solving. We called it the Hummer/Tesla of Weeders!!!
Unlike other weeding technologies, the robots utilize high-power lasers to eradicate weeds through thermal energy, without disturbing the soil. The automated robots allow farmers to use less herbicides and reduce labor to remove unwanted plants while improving the reliability and predictability of costs, crop yield and more.
Join as we learn from Paul Mikesell and Shay Myers on how to WIN THE WAR ON WEEDS and keep farming costs to minimum, while producing the highest and best quality yields.
