    Fresh Produce TASTE- 068

    Becky Fox Marshall, Spokesperson for Town & Country (T&C) Markets and Joe Pulicicchio, Director of Produce and Floral join us today on Tastes of Bainbridge to discuss how T&C on Bainbridge Island is dealing with COVID-19. They remind us that food and other supplies remain in good supply and that while some items may not be available from time to time, most things will remain fully stocked and always available.  There is good discussion around the idea of continuing to shop as one normally does and no need to purchase in large quantities. They discuss several of the measures the company has taken with cleaning and on-going sanitizing, care of their employees and different hours of operation.  Joe also talks about some of the fresh produce currently available and some of the things we can expect soon during this normal period of transition into the spring.  Credits: BCB Host: Robert Ross; Audio Editor: Keith Doughty; Publisher: Keith Doughty.
