Produce Guru

No, it's not my self appointed title. Produceguru.com is a new Vance Web site, a kind of online Produce Guide for consumers. Right now it is still in Beta version, so work is ongoing. You can take a peek at it now. You may be asking, What is produceguru.com? I'm glad you asked.
From the site:
