Hi Ya'll;

Nancy & I have divided our retail marked in half...flea market, roadside
fruit & vegetable stands, U-Pick farms, independent grocers and health
food stores are grouped together and the other side of the supply coin
supports gift baskets, upscale coffee shops, boutiques and a hotel here
in Mobile, Alabama.

For the down home packaging we selected from the wide assortment offered
by R.M. Farms, P.O. Box 684,
Dearborn Heights, Michigan  48127-0684  Phone:  734-722-7727.

Our upscale custom labels were designed locally by a professional
advertising artist and we relied on his recommendation for a print shop
with the skills required to produce the five color artwork.

The two critical requirements for our operation are a quality
professional look (for store shelf appeal) and "self adhesive" labels to
ease the packaging workload.  Even if you're working in a temporary
'honey house' arranged in your wife's kitchen or a space cleaned out in
the garage don't let your packaging detract from the quality found
inside.
