Here we are at the end of another year. There’s something about the way we mark the days and the years that just seems to naturally produce a time of reflection for most people. Some of us make resolutions or renewed commitments to living in certain ways. And, unfortunately, most of us break those resolutions within a few days or weeks. Here at Silva, we have five ways that we talk about who we are and what we do … and most importantly how we do what we do. These things are at the core of who we are and they will never change.

Silva, as a dehydrated vegetable manufacturer, is proud to be a part of an industry that provides great-tasting, high-quality food products. Our commitment to food, though, goes far beyond what we do every day. On December 10, 2016, Silva once again partnered with Feed My Starving Children, an organization that provides nutritionally complete meals for starving, malnourished, and hungry people around the world.

As we look ahead to the winter months, many of the root crops Silva produces for our customers have already been harvested and dehydrated at origin ready for further refinement at our Illinois facilities. In this crop report we will briefly look at the market outlook for some of our root crops as well as a few vegetables harvested toward the end of the year.
