Kaleb Smith, Food Safety and Sales Assistant, tells AndNowUKnow, “We are beginning harvest on a few cherry plum crosses that we have in our test blocks as well.”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">Mountain King Potatoes is picking up momentum on its Steak House Roasters line of fingerling potatoes.
