Farm to table businesses are sweeping the country offering people fast access to fresh foods that are grown or produced locally. From wines to fish and plants alike, local farms are driving the narrative in this industry with an emphasis on fresh foods and transparency.

Managing an electric vehicle fleet can be a new challenge – especially for those experienced with managing traditional vehicle fleets. The needs are different. However, as more companies seek new ways to “go green” electric vehicles are a practical decision in this endeavor.
