You Can Likely Trace Your Pumpkin Pie Back to This Small Town
"At the LIBBY'S plant in Morton I learned that more than 100,000 tons of pumpkins are processed there and the operation produces enough canned pumpkin to enrich nearly 72 million pumpkin pies annually; the company sources from fields to the factory within a 50-mile radius to keep pumpkins fresh, minimize the environmental footprint, and support the local economy, and it emphasizes deep roots in Illinois and partnerships with farmers to implement more sustainable growing practices." - Tori Allen
