Disease Proof

What can I say? I must be an exhibitionist or something. I just can’t resist an opportunity to show off my banana. Feast your eyes on this handsome specimen:

Go on. Take a closer look, you know you want to:

Now, last week my banana had farm number 001, Peru. But this week, my banana’s number is 002. Alright, let’s run it through the Dole Organic Program and find out where my banana was grown. Cool! Check this out:

• Country: Perú
• Farm Units: Saman Palletizing Unit and Communitary Growers Group of Samán
• Location: Chira Valley, Sullana, Piura, Perú
• Crops: Organic Bananas
• Organic Certified since: 2001

You just can’t beat Peruvian bananas! Here are some pictures of my banana’s old stomping grounds. Enjoy:

Actually, I’ve been keeping an eye out for different farm numbers. Hopefully next time my banana will be from a different exotic location. Exotic and banana—sounds dirty!

How cool! I just checked out the bunch of bananas I got from my organic produce co-op. Mine came from Honduras - a farm that was devastated in Hurricane Mitch, but has been brought back into production. I sent the link to the Dole Organic Program to my co-op members so they can check out their bananas.....farms, that is.... :-) Karen

Hey Karen-

Glad you like it! Its really cool. I'm on a mission to find bananas from all over the world!

Peace.
