Market Reports
  
 

Cauliflower: The cauliflower market is active. Most suppliers have started the week light in supplies and expect this to continue throughout the week. Twelve count sizing continues to be the most readily size available. Huron and the Salinas Valley  volumes are sufficient to fill contract orders. There has not been issues on quality as of yet.

CELERY: Celery market up  on all sizes due to the Florida season ending and this is putting more pressure on the Oxnard supply. Supply is slightly below normal causing market to be in a slight incline.  Celery demand is very good quality is just ok with some seeders still being reported.

  Lettuce

As we move into Salinas valley California  Availability will strengthen to greater extremes. Quality is good with no epidermal damage a little water spotting due to the amount of rain and light wind tip damage perhaps just a little smaller head yield

Iceberg lettuce supplies are ample out of Huron and Salinas has started this week. We expect ample supplies.
