Interesting proposition

[Misfit]

Fear can be a good thing; what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Let him know what your capabilities are, and go from there

Dealing with the health dept. in N.C. there was no stipulations on how produce was transported to me from local farmers and gardeners. In N.J. your mileage might vary.

If one of his restaurants is primarily a burger joint. You have to ask him the question. Do you want to serve heirloom tomatoes 3 months out of the year, and resort back to Sysco? Most people wouldn't know; some will, and that would hurt his quality control.

Depending on what his other restaurants are, maybe shift his thinking towards cherries, and grow multi color varieties? You can always offer a few larger varieties at your discretion.

Start small, thing big... best of luck!
