Students at Sacramento’s New Joseph Bonneheim Elementary School enjoyed more fruits and vegetables as the school year wrapped up, thanks to a local retailer, a crunchy apple, and a lot of pedal power.
During the first week in June, Greg Corrigan, Raley’s senior director of produce and floral and Garland Perkins, business development representative for the Oppenheimer Group joined school officials and students to dedicate its new salad bar.
Here’s Oppy Business Development Rep Kyra Jennings, reporting from Tehachapi:
“Sun Select Tehachapi puts innovation and quality into a whole new light. With a state-of-the-art greenhouse, growing methods that not only produce great quantity but great quality, and a knowledgeable staff and crew to oversee the growing, harvesting, and packaging process it is no wonder I give these tomatoes two big thumbs up!”
Who could resist Elmo or this eye catching display of beautiful red grapes?

The Papple resembles an apple, but is actually a natural cross of European and Asian pears. It is extremely juicy, very sweet, and has a bit of crunch. Volumes are very limited…. for now.
Even at the tail end of the Washington season, JAZZ apples are still crunching off the charts, and holding the perfect balance of sweetness and tang.
