There are still some local items available:
Lacinato @ $2,10
Collards @ $2.10
Spring Mix @ $4.90 (price just went down)
Dandelion @ $2.10
Green Kale @ $2.10

Also Pure Cranberry Juice is listed. Only 23% markup on these as they are expensive anyway being only cranberry juice, but I want it available for me so I have reduced the mark up.  The real thing.  Pure Organic Cranberry Juice. Great for the kidneys.

Almonds by the pound
Bartlet Pears
Costa Rica Golden Pineapples
Kiwi

As the weather changes the farming moves north creating the seasonal shift in crop harvest areas. And for the next week or so, the changes are happening! In South Florida, some of the spring crops such as lettuces and greens are finishing up the spring harvest within the next few days. North Florida the weather is still good for our spring local produce.  The Georgia harvest is due to begin within the next week or ten days…and thus..a gap in supply is likely on items like Romaine Lettuce. We are attempting to fill the gap with western product…except the transition is also occurring right now out there as well. The California crops have finished in the south and are moving up the coast. Unfortunately it has been cool and wet in the central part of the state and things are starting a little slowly out there as well.

So, many products are in tight supply / limited availability and pricing is up.

This happens to some degree every year, and it is a short lived problem followed by some absolutely outstanding fresh organic fruits and vegetables.

Have a beautiful week, and if you ate today, thank your LOCAL farmers all across the nation.
