Local Produce – The local season continues to move forward. We have tomatoes, blueberries, yellow squash and zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, corn and cabbage available now. We’re reaching peak season on many items. Blueberries – Are still widely available locally and they’re having a great season. Quality has been beautiful. Corn – Has started in North Carolina fields and they’re starting out beautifully. BiColor was the first variety to become available, but white corn started at the end of this week. Grapes – Chilean grapes are finishing up, with Mexican and California growers carrying the baton now. Quality is very nice on the new crop grapes. Melons – Watermelons are coming into better volume in Georgia, and our local farmers are expecting to be into solid volume around July 4th. 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 are poised for a great season also. Peaches – South Carolina peach farmers are still having a great season and a strong harvest. Plentiful supplies and beautiful quality are causing farmers to lower prices for this week. Potatoes – Idaho Russet pricing is still very good with the heavy crop they have in storage. Overall the supply in their storage warehouses has been good, so it’s been a smooth spring and we should easily transition to the new crop without any crazy markets. Strawberries – Nationally strawberries are in a glut. Lots of production, but light demand because of all of the other fruits available during summertime. Prices are about as low as they get right now. Squash & Zucchini– Locally they have been beautiful and supplies are increasing with the warm and dry weather. The heat this weekend my cause a bloom drop and a shortage, we’ll have to see. Tomatoes – Have started locally and they’ve been gorgeous. Big, ripe, and juicy, we’re looking forward to a great season. We have local romas, vine ripened tomatoes and even some heirloom varieties beginning.
