DeCicco Family Markets in Katonah, N.Y., has a jam-packed produce department that maximizes a relatively small space for this village about one hour north of New York City.

We stopped by for a store check around lunchtime, as staff was busy restocking the produce department. We noticed a lot of cross-merchandising, a full fresh-cut section, beautiful wet rack with lush greens and good signage highlighting weekly specials and locally grown produce.
