Summary
Lettuce sales at Dons Produce Patch in Hutchinson rose over the past week, the small business said, as shoppers sought produce during the cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Don Miller said the outbreak appears to have pushed demand toward locally sourced lettuce at the family-run farm stand.
The Hutchinson operation, run by Miller and his wife, has farmed for years and sells a broad mix of produce including tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, squash, broccoli, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and onions.
