Have you felt like we’ve had a really long winter this year? Have you noticed we’re in mid July and still seeing gloomy skies? Have you noticed our summer fruit has also been delayed? Well thank goodness it starting to feel more like summer time now.
Finally, our farmers are able to bring in more fruits and veggies to our markets. This winter they had to deal with lots of rain, flood, hail, snow and storms. Crops were ruined and everything was delayed 2-3 weeks, from planting to harvest, like a domino effect.
Despite these challenges, talking to our farmers today, they are saying positive things and they are happy to bring us their best and freshest fruits and veggies. We are starting to see a variety of stone fruit favorites like: watermelons, cantaloupes, potatoes, onions and peppers.
