How to Start a Produce Store

If you are passionate about fresh, healthy foods, a produce shop could be a great business for you. The market for local and organic fruits and vegetables has been thriving for decades. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the number of farmers' markets in the United States grew from 1,755 in 1994 to 5,274 in 2009. By operating a produce store you can tap into the same consumer enthusiasm that has fueled this phenomenal growth, while owning and operating a satisfying and potentially profitable company.

Choose a store location appropriate to your store's emphasis. If you are starting a local and organic produce store, look in a neighborhood with stores that demonstrate that its residents are willing to pay extra for quality goods. If you will be offering produce for a particular ethnic community, find a storefront in an area with a suitable demographic.

Contact you local health department and ask about required permits and protocols for owning and operating a produce store. Call state and local revenue departments and ask for paperwork to obtain business licenses. If you will be hiring employees, register with state and federal agencies to receive an employer identification number and employment tax forms

Purchase display fixtures for your store and a walk-in cooler. Find display coolers that will attractively showcase your offerings, and bins and shelving for nonrefrigerated items. Buy your refrigeration from a reputable source, or ask a certified refrigeration technician to help you with these purchases.

Write a detailed and thoughtful business plan for your produce store. Specify a focus, such as local or organic produce or fruits and vegetables for a particular target market, such as an ethnic community.

Market your produce store by reaching out to health conscious customers or to the community you will be serving. Run ads in targeted publications. Paint large, colorful signs to attract drive-by business, and communicate about specials and new products.

Get to know the farmers in your area. Develop an approximate schedule of when different fruits and vegetables will be available and, if you so choose, supplement locally produced offerings with nonlocal items available through produce distributors.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or does it look like some of these comments look like they are written by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are posting at other social sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post.

找到一个可以替代ghs.google.com的地址

用Goole Blogger的自定义域名功能需要用到 ghs.google.com 做CNAME,或者用ping ghs.google.com 得出的IP做一个A记录.但是,伟大的GFW已经把 ghs.google.com 和部分IP屏蔽在大陆之外.这样的壮举使得我们的自定义域名不能正常访问,或者让你的网页背景.图片被滤掉,精心做成的模板变得惨白不堪. 那么,我们可不可以找一个替代 ghs.google.com 的地址呢?当然能.因为Google是强大的.它有许多有用的IP地址让你去探寻. 对 ghs.google.com 分析研究后发现, ghs.google.com 这台服务器并没有提供实质性的服务,而只是选择访问者访问最快的服务器(Google全球性公司,很多地区都有服务器).我们只要找到其他服务器的IP地址,并且这个IP地址没被屏蔽,那么就成了. 寻找这样的IP地址需要用到tracert命令.即在CMD模式下输入:tracert ghs.google.com ,在已经屏蔽的当下,最后自然得不出结果,这就需要我们使用代理了.使用不同地区的代理运行tracert ghs.google.com 命令. tracert ghs.google.com 的最后一跳会有类似这样的域名: eh-in-f121.google.com 如果在不用代理的情况下,你能ping通这个域名,那么恭喜你,你找到了!现在就可以用这个域名代替 ghs.google.com 设置你的CNAME了,ping出的IP地址可以做A记录,CNAME和A记录,只做其中之一就可以. hs-in-f121.google.com 64.233.179.121 eh-in-f121.google.com 72.14.207.121 bx-in-f121.google.com 66.249.81.121 ik-in-f121.google.com 66.249.91.121 这4个在我所在地区不能使用,而可以使用 tw-in-f121.google.com 72.14.235.121 或者209.85.171.121也可用 下面是一些不断更新的:74.125.43.121 除了使用代理来寻找,也可以通过一些网站提供的功能来寻找这个地址,很方便,就是使用网站提供的Traceroute.这些网站有: h...
