April 19 2023
A great week or two for bananas coming up. The industry is very well supplied ( maybe a little oversupplied ) and, so we will see prices ease over this period. A perfect time for this to happen with kids going back to school next week. With stone...
April 12 2023

February 15 2023
My pick of the week is white peaches. Mid-January is usually when peaches hit their peak. But this year February is really their month. To be truthful, it’s hard to say if the white peaches are any better than the yellows this week, they are both...
