Produce Supply Update July 3rd, 2026 Happy Birthday America! Asparagus – Domestic asparagus is finishing for the season, so the supply has tightened up with fewer places to get them. Pricing is up with the lighter supply. Avocados – Mexican supplies are increasing as they complete their seasonal transition. Prices are easing downwards. Blueberries – Are still going strong in NC and still beautiful. The flavor is fantastic right now too. It’s a great time to put some in the freezer for after the season. Broccoli – We’re back to the West Coast for California Broccoli as it’s too hot on the East Coast now for broccoli. Cabbage – Our NC mountain farmers are harvesting gorgeous cabbage and plenty of it. Corn– Is always a big deal for the 4 th of July holiday. It’s a great item to feature now that our local farmers are picking beautiful ears. Eggplant – Lots of exciting varieties are available locally now. Reach out if there’s something in particular you’re looking for. Lettuce – Romaine and Green leaf have been very limited with a lot of quality issues for the past few weeks, but that’s behind us now. We’re seeing improved harvests and better pricing going forward. Melons – Honeydews and cantaloupes are EXTREMELY short nationwide due to a crop failure in California. Our local farmers are fortunately at the peak of their Athena Cantaloupe season and the quality has been amazing. Peppers and Cucumbers – Have begun locally and we’ll be sourcing them from our neighbors as long as the season lasts. Strawberries – Are much more available this week, though quality is still a struggle for them. The quality issues come from the unstable weather patterns experienced over the past three months Tomatoes – Local tomatoes are getting started but all reports are that the heat has devastated their crop and it’ll be a short season. Tomorrow we celebrate more than our nation's independence—we celebrate the courage to build, the freedom to dream, and the responsibility to leave America stronger for the next generation. Happy Fourth of July!
