Your posts are really keeping us feeling all the feels, from awe and delight to consternation and intrigue.
Here's what won this week.
We might be double-dipping here by featuring a Mucci Farms post. Not sure.
If so, #sorrynotsorry.
Just look at Ajit Saxena here in this stunning indoor Mucci strawberry farm. The vibrant green and ruby pop against the stark white lines, all pointing to this public relations and digital marketing manager.
So yeah, he's supposed to be good at this posting thing, if his job title has anything to do with it.
Then when you read the post, it's funny in a cheesy, obvious sort of way, but you suspect there's more to it, and you zoom in for a closer look.
Yep, Saxena is holding a remote control, and there's a red drone to the right that he's flying. Cooool.
Find him on LinkedIn by searching for “Ajit Saxena.”
Wait, so onions are like the groundhogs of the produce world?
Don't tell Bill Murray.
If you're ever thinking about posting some weird trivia about the produce you grow and sell, the answer is: Yes. Go for it.
It's fun, it's educational and it gets people engaged. That's what we're going for here in social media land.
As far as that long, extra cold winter possibility…well, there's always Florida.

We were simply enjoying a casual stroll along Facebook Lane, when we come upon this lovely video from Hudson River Fruit Distributors.
The apples, the panoramic views of the apple orchards, the workers harvesting and the piles of juiciness all remind us that fall is coming. Cooler air is coming.
And apples are here. (Here, as in New York).
Great use of a drone for video footage. Message received, delightfully.

This post is just crying out for us to click on the link. It's so hard to resist doing it, even for the few minutes it takes to write this.
That's effective.
We're curious what the National Restaurant Association has found out about America's restaurants this far into the COVID-19 pandemic, and how it will affect all our businesses that count foodservice operations as their end customers.
So, yeah. Bye. *click*

Packing lunch could be a thing your audience is doing again, as in-person classes started this week for Violet Witchel, as well as for thousands of students nationwide.
So, packable lunch ideas are pretty helpful around this time. After all, about 5.3 million viewers found Witchel's reel helpful enough to watch it.
At TikTok's typical breakneck pace, she shows how she makes two gluten-free wraps with hummus, turkey, spinach and red bell pepper. Then she cuts up some kiwi — notice she leaves the skin on for eating — and slices a carrot and a floret of broccoli, with dip on the side. She's not all fresh, whole-food virtue. She includes some double-stuffed Oreos in her lunchbag too.
Consider a post on convenient ways to transport your food for work lunch or school lunch, as more people are returning to in-person activities, regardless of whatever third or fourth pandemic wave some U.S. regions are experiencing.
Let's not get into that. We choose to focus on this lunch deliciousness and the timeliness of this kind of post — an idea that most businesses can use for their social media accounts.
