Produce Supply Update May 24th, 2024: Local Produce – The local season is starting to crank up! We have blueberries, yellow squash and zucchini and cabbage available now. Asparagus – Warmer weather has wrapped up the Local asparagus season and we’re back into Peruvian grass. They are starting new fields, though, and quality has been very nice. Blueberries – We have plentiful local blueberries now and they’re starting out very nice! We’re looking forward to a great season. Corn – Is coming from Florida in good volume and beautiful quality. Pricing is very favorable, so proudly feature it on your menus. Lettuces – Iceberg and leaf lettuce supplies remain limited this week. The Salinas Valley in California is in full swing now and we’re looking forward to a good summer crop. Supplies remain a bit limited now, causing the higher pricing. Melons – The offshore supplies are winding down seasonally, and domestic farms are starting out. Prices are up on the limited supplies or honeydews and cantaloupes, watermelons are easing downward. Onions – New Crop onion season has begun and pricing is much more affordable and quality is much improved over the storage crop. Vidalia has begun their sweet onion season and we received our first shipment this morning. Peaches – South Carolina peach farmers are having a great season and a strong harvest. Plentiful supplies and beautiful quality are causing farmers to lower prices for this week. Potatoes –Florida is into solid volume with reds, whites, and golds. Quality is excellent and pricing has settled down. There are still lots of russets coming out of Idaho and the market remains flat. Strawberries – Heavy supplies from many areas have the market down this week and farmers looking to sell berries. Quality is very good and so is pricing. Q: Why can’t your nose be 12 inches long? A: Because then it would be a foot.
