Rainy weather in the Salinas valley has resulted in decreased harvest yields last week. No major disruptions are expected, but it has been enough to driver prices up a few dollars. There is product available out of Mexico and Florida, but we are continuing with California bunched broccoli and crowns.
Florida has finished up for the season, while California has limited volume coming from the new fields there due to rain in Oxnard and Santa Maria. Mexico is still shipping some product, but their season will end quickly. Prices are increasing due to the decreased availability. The new berries out of California are showing excellent quality, but growers need time for harvests to catch up to demand. The fields in the northern districts of Salinas and Watsonville have barely started to harvest, but will ramp up over the next several weeks.
We are always impressed with the personalized customer service, exceptional quality of produce and also the huge selection of products.

DelBene is one of my favorite purveyors because of their ability to be flexible while still being personable. Not only do they have some of the most unique produce available but I've had my same rep (shout out to Gerry!) for years and couldn't imagine using anyone else.

We have been using DelBene Produce for the past 18 years. There are several reasons for this lengthy relationship - product quality, selection, custom size orders and especially customer service are at the top.
