GREEN WITH GREEN GLOBE ECOPAK PLATES
Huffman's
Market is now carrying a line of biodegradable
disposable plates made from bagasse, a waste by-product
of sugar extraction from sugarcane. The bagasse
is cooked into slurry that serves as the feedstock
for plate manufacture. It biodegrades completely,
easily and quickly.
The
product was introduced by UAHS alumni Tom O'Shaughnessy,
Scott LeFevre, and Sterling LeFevre,
who have set up a distribution company for the
products and are beginning their marketing right
here in UA.
Biodegradable,
green products tap into a real consumer demand,
Huffman said. The sugar plates, marketed as Green
Globe EcoPak, are selling well, as Huffman's
Market customers look for more ways to go green.
As
we enter into the summer months, Huffman's
Market has a full array of delicious, healthful,
farm-fresh produce displayed in the front
of our store.
This
week, we are featuring Florida sweet corn,
grape tomoatoes, baby peeled carrots, Florida
whole watermelons, red seedless grapes,
and California lemons.
As
summer progresses, watch for locally grown
sweet corn and tomatoes.

This
Letter to the Editor appeared in the April 7,
2010 issue of This
Week News:
I
would like to publicly thank Tim and Glenda
Huffman of Huffman's Market for the many donations
over the years that they have given Northwest
Counseling Services. Tim and Glenda are two of
the most giving business owners that I know in
Upper Arlington.
I
would like to describe something very generous
that happened recently. Last month, I was at Huffman's
Market, picking up some donated box lunches for
a group of our volunteers. While there, I mentioned
to Tim that one of our financially needy, older
adult Upper Arlington clients needed a home repair
but could not afford to have the work done. Without
hesitation, Tim said, "Send me the bill."
Tim's
generous offer was based exclusively on learning
from Northwest Counseling Services about our client's
situation; he did not even know if she was one
of his customers. (In order to protect our client's
privacy, we refrained from telling Tim and Glenda
the older person's name or where the client lives
in Upper Arlington.)
What
a generous act of unselfish giving. We are extremely
grateful to Tim and Glenda for helping our client
with this repair.
If
you have a chance to stop into Huffman's in the
near future, please let Tim or Glenda know how
much they are appreciated.
Tim
and Glenda Huffman invite you to visit and
rediscover the convenience and friendliness of
the small-town grocery store.

is located at the west end
of Tremont
Center in Upper Arlington, Ohio and we pride
ourselves on high quality products and personal
service for our loyal customers.

"big grocery stores." You always find
