I'm thinking about the logistics... How many acres, how many plants, etc,etc  Thanks everyone! So much GREAT information!!! |
Depends on the restaurant. Best to ask the chef or manager what they will need first and work your way backwards from that.  The last thing you want is 5 acres of rotting tomatoes in the field waiting on you to find restaurants to supply!
