Produce Updates
October 19 (2016)
Of Interest:
A few storms swept over our growing areas on Monday, at this point we are not sure how much damage has been done, but we suspect supply and quality may be affected for this week and with more rain forecast for next week we will have to wait and see!!
Mango supply is increasing and quality is getting better along with other stone fruit. We can expect a bad cherry season however, with most districts wiped out with rain, only 20-40% of crops harvested.
Our new Website should launch this week, keep your eye out on Facebook and Instagram.
