There are no enemies in produce marketing as we all look to the same objectives; healthy food and healthy farmers."<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.huronproduce.com" target="_new"> Huron Produce </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
