Welcome to episode 69 of Tip of the Iceberg Podcast.

In this episode, we take detour from our regular interviews with industry members and talk amongst ourselves. Listen in on our watercooler chat as we introduce our two new editors, Melissa Treolo and Ed Boling.

Then, we talk about what we’re looking forward to at the Global Organic Produce Expo (GOPEX), the conference hosted by Farm Journal’s produce brands, PMG and The Packer at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., Jan. 31-Feb. 2.
