The Produce Report:for the Week of Dec 20-26,2010

skagit valley food coop_organic golden delicious

Organic Golden Delicious

Grant Gibbs has brought us one last delivery of Organic Winesap and Organic Golden Delicious Apples from his orchard near Leavenworth. Brownfield Orchard is all done with Organic Honeycrisp apples for the year,but we will continue to offer them from other sources. The size will be smaller and the quality not quite as peak as Brownfield,but the price will be low –$1.69 lb –good for juicing and sauce. Other local crops are completely done until spring warms up the ground and a new growing season begins. Hedlin Farm in LaConner is the exception with Organic Collard Greens and Organic Yellow Onions. What few greens we can get are coming from California right now. Organic Lettuce,Broccoli,and Cauliflower have been challenging to source,which means their prices are a bit high right now.
