    GOOD BUYS
    Yellow & Red Seedless
    Watermelons: Local farms
    in Delaware and Maryland are
    shipping these summer favor-
    ites at best-of-the-season
    prices.

    Cantaloupes &
    Honeydews: Mid-coast
    California contnues to
    source melons with the
    highest sugar content of
    the year! We have local
    melons too!

    Leafy Items: Romaine,
    green leaf, red leaf, boston
    and parsley are all in good
    supply with reliable prices.

    Spring Mix, Mesculin,
    Baby & Se-stemmed
    Spinach : Good supplies and
    prices for crispy salads.
    Caulifower: Favorable
    weather conditons in the
    west have brought us ample
    quanttes and excellent
    quality on caulifower.
    When was the last tme
    caulifower was a good buy?
    How about roastng some
    with red peppers as an eye-
    popping side dish?

    Celery: The felds in Salinas
    area are serving up acres of
    perfectly crisp and aromatc
    celery stalks.

    Artchokes: Not only are
    these veggies beautful and
    great tastng, but they also
    have an added beneft of
    lowering blood pressure!

    Tomatoes: We stll have
    excellent supplies of beef-
    steak tomatoes and heir-
    looms coming in daily. Cher-
    ries, as well!
    WATCH
    Lemons: We contnue to
    struggle to bring you our
    quality and volume standards
    on this important summer
    ingredient. The market is very
    thin and the prices are higher
    than normal. One piece of
    good news: our packaging is
    very generous and the boxes
    are loaded to be 105% full.
    We assure you that you will
    get your moneys worth!

    Cherries: It was not a good
    year for cherries and the sea-
    son ended very abruptly. We
    are completely out.

    Blackberries: Demand
    exceeds supply as the local
    season quickly winds down.
    Westmoreland is fnished and
    Cole Berry Farm has one week
    lef.


    Blueberries: The recent rain
    storms really beat up the
    remaining blueberries. We
    have moved to Canada for our
    quality and volume needs.
    This has led to higher prices
    but the favor and plumpness
    is worth it!

    Romaine Hearts: We are
    back in the woods on the
    price of romaine hearts. This
    is a diferent crop from ro-
    maine letuce. This is grown
    on separate felds and in short
    supply.
    KEEP IN MIND
    Asparagus: All sizes are available
    with good quality this week out of
    Peru.
    Avocados: Be aware that the
    high volume and butery quality
    we have recently seen is startng
    to wind down. Prices are holding
    steady so far but this is one item
    to keep an eye on.
    Raspberries & Strawberries:
    We are getng gorgeously plump
    and tart raspberries from Califor-
    nia this week. Some cloudy days
    in the growing region are not
    allowing enough size to develop.

    Grapes: Red, white, lunch bunch
    and champagne grapes are in
    good supply and great quality
    with steady pricing.

    Broccoli & Broccoli Crowns:
    The price has contnued to ramp
    up and we expect this to contn-
    ue. Upward pressure and availa-
    bility tghtens.

    Leeks & Brussels Sprouts: This
    is rare, but the supply this week is
    ample so order up!

    Red & Yellow Peppers: Prices
    contnue to improve slightly with
    good supplies out of Southern
    California.
