Produce Supply Update
May 23rd, 2025
Memorial Day – We will be closed on Monday the 26th , in observance of Memorial Day.
Local Produce – Weather has cooperated all spring and we’re seeing plenty of strawberries, blueberries, cabbage, broccoli and greens. We saw our first squash and zucchini this week. They’re off
to an awesome start locally.
Asparagus – Domestic growers are firing off and more are expected to begin this month. We received our first domestic shipment last week and the quality is just beautiful.
Broccoli – Continues locally and it’s been really pretty. As long as the weather stays spring-like, we’ll have it in stock. Once it warms up, though, the broccoli season will move north.
Blueberries – Started this week locally and they’re starting beautiful. A whole week of rains on them may cause some supply glitches short term, but we’re off to a great beginning.
Corn – Is still in excellent volume now from Florida and quality has been beautiful. Big, plump and sweet, it’s a great time to promote it for your summertime menus.
Cucumbers – Are becoming available domestically again after the wintertime imports wrap up. Florida is cranking up their vegetable machine and a lot of items are rolling along now.
Lettuce – Iceberg lettuce, romaine, red and green leaf supplies are plentiful with many growers looking to promote. Quality reports are showing great overall quality and good weights. We’re expecting a smooth season.
Melons – Central American melon season is winding down, and should finish up in May. Pricing should start easing upward as supplies decrease. West coast shippers should begin about then.
Potatoes – We are still seeing excellent supplies and quality on reds and yellows out of Florida. Markets are stable if not a little soft. Not much change to report on Idaho russets, feature your french
fries to take advantage.
Squash – And zucchini started locally this week and quality is really very nice and pricing is great.
Strawberries – Remain local and remain beautiful. Quality and volume are great and they’re expecting the trend to continue for another month or so.
Tomatoes – Drier weather has the market settled down this week. Quality is exceptional right now and pricing is very good.
