    I am a big fan of "Aunt Nellie’s Pickled Beets and the 3 Bean Salad! I first tried the beets, I used to make them, but since I discovered Aunt Nellie’s, I just purchase them.
    Then I noticed where they originate from and that they are made by a company called Seneca Foods. I live in Maine, but am originally from New York State and I believe my Uncle Daniel Sprissler was offiliated with Seneca Foods, years back!
    My local grocery store, "Hannaford Bros Foods" only carries a few of your products, my 2 favorites are the beets and salad, but many times when I shop, I am unable to get the pickled beets, they are sold out, but are ordered. I always keep a couple of jars on hand, just in case.
    Thanks for the great products, I love them!

    Sincerely,
