Fresh Produce Requires Pure Water
Several years ago, my family decided to take a stand against the large corporate grocery chains that are swallowing so many mom and pop shops whole. We started our own small, independent store with an emphasis on locally grown produce and farm-fed meats. We ran into a problem almost immediately, however, when the fresh lettuce, spinach and other leafy vegetables showed signs of wilting.
As it turned out, we had been sprinkling and misting the vegetation with substandard water. Of course fresh produce is only as good as the water and fertilizer used to help it grow, and the same is true for preserving it when it hits a retail store. We budgeted for a commercial water filtration system and started seeing results almost immediately after making the switch.
