Here is a quick overview of this coming week in the fruit and vegetable markets. You should expect:
Apples: Large Granny Smiths are still limited in Washington.
Blackberries: Supplies are limited. Domestic quality is fair.
Blueberries: Supplies remain limited this week.
Cucumbers: There is a wide range of quality along with good lots so maneuvering around to get good quality can be tricky.
Lettuces: Supplies are limited on salad mixes and processed lettuces (iceberg, romain, color separate, color mix). Raw product will be available but tight.
Onions: Transportation still very limited all across the Northwest
Oranges: Demand far exceeds supplies.
Potatoes: Transportation is very limited.
Squash: Supplies are getting tighter
Hopefully, this market information will help you to plan specials, promotions, and make menu adjustments in advance of the rapidly changing produce markets.
