But as long as we're on this pony let's keep a 'going. Currently, we are making our way through the warm up acts and are now ready for the headliner, the Bing. Production has been coming from everywhere, with Oxnard in the south winding down some, but Arroyo Grande, Santa Maria and Watsonville doing fine. Stem berries are also around, available in protective clamshells. Raspberries have been in from Arizona, with Watsonville fare on the way.
Blueberries are Florida, with locals being on the cusp.
And blacks are a bargain, hailing from south of the border. Chilean supply is virtually done with Mexico and California's Coachella Valley soon, but late. Even at that don't expect the early green variety, the Perlette to muster much sugar early. Expect some Texas honeydews, but current high prices point to less supply to satisfy demand. Even the Late Lanes are running thin.
