Product inspections—in the field and post-harvest—are fundamental to maintaining the integrity of the Markon First Crop and Ready-Set-Serve brands. Markon believes in the adage “trust, but verify.” So to supplement our written specifications, inspectors are at work six days a week to approve or reject potential fields for Markon First Crop lettuce, leaf, strawberry, potato and celery items, plus many other vegetable crops. Broccoli, cauliflower, apples and onions are also inspected. In-house inspectors visit cold rooms three times per week to monitor post-harvest storage temperatures and weights for leaf, lettuce and many vegetable items.
