Good Morning! Tariffs – After much discussions and anticipation, the President announced last week that produce from Mexico and Canada will be exempted from any tariffs. Avocados – Remain tight with farmers holding back product to keep pricing strong. The market is expected to remain strong and supply tight on some sizes. Quality remains good. Blueberries – Chili and Peru are winding down right now, but Florida is expected to begin production any time. Once the east coast starts, supplies and quality will be much stronger. Broccoli- coming from multiple areas now and pricing is very favorable and reflecting the strong supplies. Cabbage – Is coming in locally now from Sampson County, NC. Quality is very nice and it doesn’t get much fresher than this! Eggs – Fewer Avian flu outbreaks and lighter demand at the recent higher pricing have brought egg prices down for this coming week. We’ll see if this trend continues. Grapes – Continue at glut levels, with the overlap in seasons bringing more grapes than shippers can sell. Pricing is about as low as it gets right now. Lettuce – Growers are looking toward the northern transition with anticipation of new fields and fresher lettuces. Quality has been very good this season, but should still improve with the transition to new areas. Onions – Everyone’s favorite aromatics are on sale right now. Onions are at great prices due to heavy supplies left over from last year’s harvest and a strong spring crop. All varieties are at rock bottom pricing. Potatoes – Baking potato supplies are still good and strong, with pricing about as low as it gets. Reds and gold potatoes are a bit tighter and more expensive than the baking potatoes. Strawberries – It’s officially Spring! We are scheduled to receive our first shipment of local strawberries today. We’re looking forward to a great season! My friend just bought 60 chicks for his farm. They were going cheep.

Broccoli – Remains extremely limited in California, but our North Carolina farmers are getting started with better volume this week
