...The Strawberry Baby By Wanda Simms In the spring of May 1971, my older cousin Lilly, who was weeks from having her baby, took me on a bus trip to the Farmers Market downtown St. Louis. It was a warm sunny day and as usual, the fruit was eye pleasing to an 8yr old, the strawberries smelled so...oo, good, and I wanted to taste one as I always did when granny and I came here. I reached out picked up one and took a bite. It was sweet and delicious. I finished it off and got one more to eat on the bus ride home. I put it in the top right pocket of my jacket. I turned around and there was Lilly telling me it was time to go home. As we walked towards the exit, the stand attendant, an older Italian gentleman, came running and screaming “stop”,” stop”, that little girl stole a strawberry! Lilly quickly turned around and in a startled voice said “what”? He repeated that little girl stole a strawberry! I said, no I didn’t! I ate one, and he said it is in her pocket, Lilly checked me, and there it was a big juicy strawberry in my top right pocket. Boy was she scared and mad. The stand attendant said to me pointing his finger angrily at me , if you ever steal my fruit again I will call the police on you , I said sobbing with tears, I won’t do it again I am sorry. The bus ride home was very gloomy, Lilly cried the whole time clutching her stomach as if it was a purse. The next day when I arrived home from school, Granny informed me that Lilly had the baby...

...Product Information Red Temptation is a product designed to give Yummy Yummy Ice Cream Inc. the edge needed to outsell any competitors. The name “Red Temptation” was derived from certain key traits of the product. “Red” is representative of the three different flavors of the sorbets served: strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. Each sorbet is garnished with a healthy amount of dark chocolate. Chocolate has a seductive connotation due to the fact that it is an aphrodisiac usually used for romantic purposes. With the sensual connotation chocolate brings, along with the fact that the color red is a color of romance and passion, the second half of the name “Temptation” was created. Together, the name “Red Temptation” conveys the main traits of the product (the flavors, and chocolate) while at the same time creating an alluring name that is sure to attract many. As a sorbet, Red Temptation opens the doors to attract an even wider range of customers. The reason for this is that sorbets are made without cream or milk, so it allows even the lactose intolerant and vegan to enjoy. Instead these sorbets are made with all natural fruits, clean filtered water, and low calorie sweetener. Each sorbet is made with only the freshest fruits, never frozen, and each sorbet is just as delicious as the last. Due to the natural healthiness of the main ingredients, the sorbets themselves are a low calorie, healthy product as well. Dark chocolate itself is also considered to be healthy, but...

...Logistics Case Study: California Strawberry Competitiveness in Chicago, Paris and Tokyo. Professor: Jonathan M. SELTZER Submitted: 19.02.2016 Strawberries are popular worldwide due to their organoleptic qualities, nutrient content and versatility. The international trade of strawberries, fresh and processed, has grown in recent years with global sales of 1,533,000 tonnes in 2013, a 29% increase from 2006 according to data from Trade Map. This following report focuses on the ability of California’s strawberries to compete in the Chicago, Paris and Tokyo markets and the logistical details of their distribution to each market. CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY PRODUCTION The following data comes from the California Strawberry Commission. California is the largest strawberry producing state in the US, which is the largest strawberry producing country in the world. In 2014, more than 2.3 billion pounds, equivalent to more than 1 million metric tons, of strawberries were harvested. This accounts for 88% of the nation’s strawberry production. Despite recent shrinking strawberry acreage, California continues as the leading strawberry producing region in the world and is expected to supply over 79% of the volume consumed in the U.S in 2016. Due to its coastal climate, moderate temperature and rich soil, California is capable of producing strawberries year-round with peak crop harvest availability between April and July. It should be noted that California’s ability to maintain its...

...attempting to determine the most effective way to wash produce so that there is the fewest amount of pathogens on it. In this case, we will be looking at pathogens that is on strawberries. Depending on the pathogens, it can be harmful for human; therefore, it is important to know what is contained in our food. A pathogen “is a biological agent that causes disease or illness to its host.” (www.sciencedaily.com/terms/pathogen.htlm) There are many ways foods can be in contact with pathogens. First of all, the air and soil has many pathogens and bacteria floating in it that can easily come in contact with our food. If the food is packaged, there may be pathogens from the packaged materials. Also pesticides used to preserve foods is very commonly used. Materials and Methods: First I chose to use a strawberry to determine the possible pathogens that could be on this piece of fruit. With a sterile swab that was dipped in distilled water, I swabbed a small section towards the top of the strawberry. I then took the swab and transferred it to my already sectioned agar plate that is labeled H2O. Next I used another sterile swab dipped in vinegar and swabbed a lower section of the fruit and transferred it to the appropriate section on my agar plate. Lastly I swabbed an even lower section of the strawberry with another sterile swab with lemon and transferred it to the appropriate section on my agar plate. After transferring all three washes to the agar plate, I placed the...

...Holly Farm Sales Forecast: According to Gillian's forecasts, while there will be an increase in farm shop sales by 50%, there will be a decline in retail shops sales by 13.3% in 2004 (Table 1). However, these forecasts are unlikely to come true. Firstly, its retail shops sales has increased by 75% on average of each year, and its farm shop sales has increased by 28% on average each year for the latest five years. It may be unreasonable that she dramatically changes these recent growth trends on her forecast without any factors that could impact on both channels. Secondly, since the ice cream market in the UK is mature and stable (Table 2), sudden changes of previous trend hardly happen excepting entering strong new players into the region, spoiling the farm's reputation hugely and investing tremendously on the marketing for its farm shop. Moreover, in terms of Holly Farm's managing on its farm visitors, this sudden change of the number of visitors could lead to collapses of its operations. These reasons discussed above clearly show that Gillian's demand forecast is not reliable. Hence, they have to forecast in the other way. Line Extension: Gillian wishes to increase the number of ice cream flavours from four to ten. However, this line extension can cause the following problems. First of all, many products of relatively lower demand items would be abolished due to their expiration dates. In1999, the Ice Cream Alliance published the date of top ten ice cream flavour in the...
