Ford's Produce Supply Update

August 2, 2010 Week

Last week’s high heat, followed by this week’s rains, have caused a short term gap on many local products.

Cantaloupes, watermelons and honeydews are all at peak season, both locally and nationally.

Great supplies from Salinas and Santa Maria are keeping strawberry markets low.

Eastern Peach growers are having one of the strongest harvests on record.

Onion farmers have been plagued by poor weather and too much rain all season long.
