Severe apple shortage causes worry for Apple Cider Mills in Michigan reports AppleCiderVinegarGuide.com

San Francisco, CA – Orchards and cider-mills in Michigan have been facing a shortage of apples due to unfriendly weather. Almost 90% of apple crops have been destroyed by severe weather that has caused a steep price hike of apples and related products for manufacturers. However, the cider-mill owners have decided not to shift this burden to consumers in order to maintain their name next fall.

Details released on the issue, suggest orchards and apple cider mills owners usually expect a handsome profit in the fall but, these circumstances have made things very difficult for them this year and most are struggling to survive.

The mills owners are paying farmers two to three times more than normal prices. It is likely that apple prices will go up in the coming days as it will be impossible for merchants to take such a loss.

Bob Tritten, a Michigan State University Extension Service fruit educator for southeast Michigan, told the media that apple prices are expected to rise up by 50% in the coming days.

According to statistics, the apple crop produced in Michigan last year was about 26 million bushels. This year, it is only expected to produce around 2 million bushels. The huge difference in production has caused the unforeseen price hike.

Meanwhile, cider mill owners are not ready to give up on the business despite the unfortunate circumstances. Retailers said that they may have to cut their demand short due to the shortage and price hike but they will not give it up completely.

Local consumer Jennifer Archey of Rochester Hills said, “I still bought it anyway, but I’ll probably buy a little less this year. It’s a tradition. I always take my kids on the first day of school. And the doughnuts are great.”

Mary Moore of Oxford shared a similair view. She said, “It’s an emotional connection with the fall, having cider and doughnuts. It’s a rhythm to the life we’ve grown up with.”

About applecidervinegarguide.com:

Offers extensive information on Apple Cider Vinegar and the useful benefits of apple cider vinegar. Apple Cider Vinegar Guide also discusses the weight loss benefits of apple cider vinegar.

National Online Retailer Opens In West Michigan

For Immediate Release

National Online Retailer Opens In West Michigan

Jenison, Michigan – September 17, 2012 – TenPlus™ Toners, the online invention of Dan Widdis, opened for business Wednesday, September 12, 2012. Although the company exists entirely in the “CLOUD” (internet) the home office is located in Jenison, in SW Michigan. While there are many print supply resellers in West Michigan, TenPLUS™ Toners is the first of its kind to offer an exclusive, members only “toner warehouse” to their clients.

Since 1993 Dan Widdis has been involved in the printing industry, in one capacity or another, and found a real niche in laser printing & fax supplies. Knowing what product to buy from which supplier has been the basis of his overall client satisfaction in the print supplies industry. When the economy tanked, leaving West Michigan to re-plant his family in another state was never an option, re-building Michigan one small business at a time holds great appeal for the 51 year old entrepreneur.

TenPLUS™ Toners opened its “doors” to the general public September 12, 2012 and began taking applications for their unique, exclusive, members only, online toner warehouse. The company exists entirely on the internet—through the utilization of “cloud services” they are able to capitalize on a greatly reduced overhead in order to bring their clients prices at or near wholesale, on products that typically cost nearly double elsewhere.

Why internet, why members only? For nearly 20 years Dan has sold and serviced thousands of clients the “traditional” way, delivering cartridges and picking up the empties, sometimes eating the losses of customers who never pay, use bad or overdrawn checks, or are slow paying causing a drain on company resources – in effect raising the cost for everyone else. By taking the business to the web and offering products to only “Approved” clients, TenPLUS™ Toners is able to side-step about 70% of the incidental costs collected by traditional suppliers. Today, TenPLUS™ Toners can offer their clients a greatly reduced “direct to the door” cost, and what’s more, they can sell out of state at no additional cost, bringing out of state revenue into Michigan.

Simply put, with cloud technology and over one million cartridges at their disposal, TenPLUS™ Toners is the right company, offering the right products, at the right time, in a difficult economy.

TenPLUS™ Toners sells only Commercial Grade toners, backed by an Unconditional Guarantee. All products are post-tested and guaranteed to meet or exceed OEM specifications. TenPLUS™ Toners products CANNOT void any OEM printer warranty. To be considered for membership in this exclusive, online company, visit them at: www.TenPlusToners.com and create an account. You do not have to be a member to view prices.

St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center Receives Grant From The Home Depot Foundation

August 13, 2012 – DETROIT –

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Through its Community Impact Grants Program, The Home Depot® Foundation has awarded $3,000 to St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center. The donation is being used to create the Center’s Children’s Urban Garden — a teaching tool that encompasses several areas of study, including science/environment, math and reading.

“Important learning often takes place outside the classroom,” said Diane Renaud, Executive Director/CEO, The Education Experience at St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center. “In our urban garden, students learn how math can be used in something as simple as building a garden and how to explore the miracle of science in a hands-on setting. They see education isn’t abstract; it’s a vegetable you can eat. We are thankful The Home Depot Foundation is helping us make learning real.”

The Home Depot Foundation’s Community Impact Grants Program supports the work that local nonprofit organizations, public schools and other community organizations are doing to improve the physical health of their neighborhoods.

“We are delighted to support local volunteer projects aimed at creating and maintaining stable and healthy communities,” said Kelly Caffarelli, president, The Home Depot Foundation. “St. Fisher and Sarah Fisher Center deserves enormous credit for the work it is doing, and we are glad to be part of their efforts.”

About St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center
Founded in 1844, the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center most recently served Southeastern Michigan as a residential/foster care agency for children. However, in 2006, the Center closed its residential campus and returned to its roots – providing assistance to the residents of the community through educational programs. Now in Detroit, the St. Vincent and Sarah Fisher Center continues nearly 170 years of service to the community through basic skill-building and academic enhancement for at-risk children and adults. These programs are designed to help build self-sufficiency skills for academic and employment success, personal achievement and dignity. In March 2011, The Education Experience was launched, with expanded hours, services and locations, to better serve the community. For more information, visit http://www.svsfcenter.org/

About The Home Depot Foundation
In 2011, The Home Depot Foundation committed $30 million over three years to nonprofit organizations dedicated to improving the homes of economically disadvantaged veterans. Through Team Depot, the company’s associate-led volunteer program, thousands of Home Depot associates volunteer their time and talents to positively transform neighborhoods and perform basic repairs and modifications to homes and to the facilities serving veterans with critical housing needs.

Since its formation in 2002, The Home Depot Foundation has granted more than $300 million to nonprofit organizations improving homes and lives in local communities.
