The Club’s September (second Thursdays) 6:00 pm meeting at IHOP on S. US 27 welcomed Benny McLean founder of UNCLE MATT’S ORGANIC holding his completely organic and locally grown orange and elderberry juice jugs that can be found in local food markets. Club members and guests were treated to wonderful tasting samples. The family business has seen a tremendous increase in public demand for any food not affected by any glyphosate (Round-Up). The McLean's have dedicated the past several decades to ridding the scourge of “greening” from citrus. The company emerged out of the near complete devastation the industry experienced in the 80’s.
