The Colorado Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association held its third annual meeting in Denver on February 21. As Produce Retailer editor, I attended as the keynote speaker.
I also checked out the buyer's lounge, where area buyers had their own tables and growers did the booth-to-booth trick or treating.
Here are a few photos I captured from the event.
