Welcome to Business North Carolina's weekly podcast, serving up interviews with some of the Tar Heel State's most interesting people.
 
On today’s episode, Dave Mildenberg speaks with Art and Abe VanWingerden, co-CEOs of Metrolina Greenhouses, a Huntersville-based company that celebrated its 50th anniversary in April. The $300 million-revenue family business supplies live goods to 1,400 retail outlets in 19 states.
