<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More local produce this week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Beautiful bunched spinach, asparagus, rhubarb and radishes from Lancaster
Ramps galore, from Hepworth, Regional Access, Irwin Mushrooms, and Angello's. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tomorrow we'll be getting the FIRST Organic Baby Arugula Cup for the season from Blue Moon. No more Satur. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Local salad season will be in full bloom the first or second week of June.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Non-GMO corn is as sweet as it can be... Organic supplies are low and we will run out by the end of the weekend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Banana containers have been held at the port making it hard to ripe correctly or received the greener kind we like.
Still this week we are in route to sell 13,200 pounds of bananas!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Want more cool numbers? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we'll sell almost 4000 strawberry cups and 4056 Broccoli Bunches... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The organic Blueberries are AMAZING! and the apricots started with a bang, great taste and texture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Georgia peaches and Cherries are right around the corner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">California Valencia Oranges will be here next week.
Celery prices continue to rise and availability is getting tight. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may see some PALE (or White) grapefruit here and there, they are Desert Grapefruit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

The Sumo's are ending- otherwise known as Dekopon. One of the most popular citrus varieties in all of Japan. :( </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
It's ok though, because the Tangelos are getting goooood! Joe Holtz said that they'd get good in March and, of course, he was right. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
What else is good in the world of citrus? Navels. Both the organic and non-organic are excellent. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Allen says: "sure, those are all great, but forget about all other citrus except the Melogold." </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Let's talk cheap. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We started the week with VERY cheap (and tasty) non-organic strawberries. By the weekend we'll have sold over a pallet and a half of them- over 25 cases per day. We tried to get more, but the price doubled, so we won't be ordering anymore for now. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Organic Blackberries are very cheap and very good. If you've been avoiding organic berries lately because of the price, now's the time to jump in. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Let's talk pears... USA bosc are done. We're waiting for South America to come online. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Organic Globe Grapes... We ran out, but will get good quality on Monday. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
No More Oro Blanco, but it's ok, just eat the Melogold. They're better, anyway.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Organic Grapefruit- we WILL run out this weekend. The Florida grapefruit crop has been cut in half by <a href="http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/local/florida/2015/02/09/usda-plans-to-spend-30-million-on-fighting-citrus-disease/23146919/">citrus greening</a>. We will be able to get more from California on Tuesday. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
We have a different type of Mango. It's from Puerto Rico and it's a mango called <a href="http://www.groceryretailonline.com/doc/pango-mango-fruit-0001">pango</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<u><b>SALADS</b></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
Trouble in salad land. Word from the growers is that there are problems with mildew in some of the fields. We had to soup a lot of spring mix (cups, bags and loose) this week because they were going bad well before the dates on the bags. We do have some salads, including spinach and arugula, but there will be shortages this weekend. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">What else might we run out of this weekend?</span><br />
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px;">
-Bunched spinach<br />
<div>
-Organic Shishito peppers</div>
<div>
-Bok Choy</div>
<div>
-Sweet peppers in cups</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Organic Papaya will be back next week. </div>

-We have a new (to us) Apple. It's called Lady Alice. Eric V says it tastes like a grown up Honeycrisp.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9wJOxDfQz0LLMHxfGZs39PYlTBcAqNCpq1cWdmwIDsCYcsolB7kqN4rkbryOCY0c4sXdzfkcPoQawbzghLg2RS6km-HCaoLYz-BNMnL3pmYxu5siLDM_soQ9tIctjfy0JtGI-/s1600/IMG_0385.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9wJOxDfQz0LLMHxfGZs39PYlTBcAqNCpq1cWdmwIDsCYcsolB7kqN4rkbryOCY0c4sXdzfkcPoQawbzghLg2RS6km-HCaoLYz-BNMnL3pmYxu5siLDM_soQ9tIctjfy0JtGI-/s320/IMG_0385.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-We've moved the organic and non-organic lemons back to the top shelf of the final cart in the middle of the aisle. It's a legacy spot for the lemons. They're unrefrigerated, yet happy to be there. This gives us more space for the bounty of citrus we're currently carrying. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Speaking of citrus... The TDE and the Florida navel are ending. They'll run out by the end of the weekend. For the TDE, we can spread the grapes to cover the spot. The Florida navel are our juicing orange right now. If they run out, we think the best juicing alternative is the moro blood orange. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Bunched Spinach. We're having trouble getting anything worth getting. We're going to run it down and wait until we can our hands on something that our members would be interested in buying. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Green Bean bags. Our supplier was shorted from their supplier and therefore so were we.
Anjou pears from Washington are ending. Bartlett from South America are starting soon. Likely from Argentina. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-For all of you Napa cabbage fans... sorry, we couldn't get any for the weekend. Try savoy, eh?
Same deal with shishito peppers. Tight supply. More on Monday.
</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Pixie Tangerines</b>. They're new (to us), they're small, they're seedless and they're very good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Cara Cara</b> are back and we love them as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wikipedia has some nice things to say about them: </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <i>This medium sized navel is sweet and low in acid. The flavor is more complex than most navel varieties and has been described as evoking notes of cherry, rose petal, orange, and blackberry. </i></span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My plebian palate is dull and sadly I couldn't detect the notes of rose petal. Not so dull though that I don't know a good cantaloupe when I taste one- or when Janet tells me it's good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's actually called the <b>MAG Cantaloupe</b>, short for Magnificent. The name itself has notes of presumptuousness. Luckily, it lives up to it's name and is quite good. From Costa Rica. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also have some Guatemalan <b>Golden Honeydews</b>. They're also very good. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The price for <b>organic asparagus</b> has fallen as the season progresses in Mexico and we're now carrying it alongside the non-organic asparagus. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Watercress</b>. We've stopped carrying the pesticide free watercress because it is no longer pesticide free. We're now carrying an organic watercress. It comes in bags and is kept near the salads. </span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br /></blockquote>

This EWG "Dirty Dozen" list, in order of most-to-least contaminated, offers a helpful way to prioritize which fruits and veggies to buy organic.We suggest keeping this guide with your grocery list — especially if you’re trying to economize on food or have trouble finding organic versions of some produce. If you especially love one or more of these fruits or vegetables and eat them frequently, all the more reason to buy organic whenever you can!<br />
<br />
1. <i><b>Apples</b></i><br />
2. <i><b>Celery</b></i><br />
3. <b><i>Sweet Bell Peppers</i></b><br />
4. <i><b>Peaches</b></i><br />

10. <b><i>Cucumbers</i></b><br />
11. <b><i>Blueberries</i></b><br />
12. <i><b>Potatoes</b></i><br />
<br />
So which produce is of least concern in terms of pesticides? The EWG reports that these 12 fruits and vegetables tested lowest in pesticide residue:<br />
<br />
1. <b><i>Onions</i></b><br />
2. <b><i>Sweet Corn</i></b><br />
3. <i><b>Pineapples</b></i><br />

Switzerland is known primarily for cows, when it comes to dairy
animals, but there are many great goat’s milk cheeses being made there.
The Surchoix de Chevre is one such example, and is notable furthermore
for being made in an alpine style and format, even more unusual for
goat’s milk. Made by <a href="http://www.le-petit-chevrier.ch/index.php/de/homepage/11-deutsch/produkte/60-surchoix-de-chevre-portion" target="_blank">Le Petit Chevrier</a> in
Lucerne — who describe their products as “Goat’s Milk Cheese that is
100% Swiss” — The Surchoix is made with pasteurized goat’s milk and aged
a minimum of 8 months.<br />
The paste is a pale ivory color, lightly scattered with tyrosine
crystals, dense and firm. Flavors are sweet, nutty and slightly gamey,
with fruity and grassy alpine notes.Yurihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17422496368905861438noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513973.post-14407202980875288542014-04-04T13:57:00.005-04:002014-04-04T13:57:49.267-04:00What's Good in the Cheese case right now?

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This
not-quite-hard, pasteurized sheep’s milk cheese comes from the countryside near
Rome, in the region of Lazio. The taste is mild and only faintly sheep-y, but
whole and halved peppercorns give it a pleasant kick. It make an excellent
pizza cheese and is good shaved on vegetables, as a parmesan alternative in
risotto, or in an egg sandwich. Yes, it’s a cheap trick to compare prices with
Murray’s, but we can’t resist: they charge $15 per pound. At the co-op it’s $7.
An unmissable bargain.</span></div>

enough for you… get help, or perhaps try this wonderful cheese from Sergio
Moro, best known for longstanding co-op favourites Sottocenere and Piave. He
runs a small operation in Veneto, in northern Italy, that gets its milk from
tiny family dairies. Barricatto means barrel-aged in Italian – in this case
wine barrels that give the hard, buttery cow’s milk cheese a little extra tang.
Oh, and it’s covered in crushed pepper. Zing! One for the cheeseboard.</div>

This is one of the most
spectacular-looking cheeses we’ve seen: a doughnut-shaped wheel with an almost
fluorescent yellow rind. It’s hard to believe this is naturally-occurring
mould, but it is, a growth lovingly tended by Rodolphe Le Meunier, a young
affineur who has already been named a Meullier Ouvrier de France. Only the very
best artisans get to wear the red white and blue MOF collars (as anyone who’s
seen patisserie documentary Kings Of Pastry would testify). Puits d’Astier is a
little pricey, but worth every centime, for its dreamy semi-soft texture and
intense, long-lasting flavor.</div>

The name of this cheese – sweaty goat – isn’t the most
appealing, but don’t let it put you off. It refers to the washed-rind aging
process, in which the young cheeses are cured in brine, then aged for between
eight days and a month, depending on the season. The result is a strong,
full-flavoured goat cheese with a distinctly barnyard-y finish. It would stand
up well to a full-bodied, old world red wine with plenty of earth and not too
much fruit.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This cheese is a mystery to us,
mainly because the label is written in Basque. Your romance languages are no
use to you here, friend. But by God, the cheese is tasty. At first glance, it
appears to be a blue cheese, but the texture is softer than expected, almost
spreadably creamy, and the flavour is notably less strong than Stilton or
Roquefort. So, it’s a blue cheese for people who don’t like blue cheese, and a
little internet sleuthing reveals that it’s made from sheep’s milk by Ramon
Lizeaga Azkue, in the smallest of small batches, somewhere near to a border
between France and Spain that he presumably doesn’t recognise as legitimate. A
revelation.

<br />
first, a word from one of our suppliers-<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXHGXtCIG1NFNQZtkIPnrP93mFZMWtLVtvMBf9v7l9Br6G3gbWnejY8T8Waym39_znmabg4p6F0IK5STGStEUBuT4bLWlrTGQ3WHFP7OAtDIa1E2av5kma4PqI73268aes19TwJw/s1600/250px-Barramundi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXHGXtCIG1NFNQZtkIPnrP93mFZMWtLVtvMBf9v7l9Br6G3gbWnejY8T8Waym39_znmabg4p6F0IK5STGStEUBuT4bLWlrTGQ3WHFP7OAtDIa1E2av5kma4PqI73268aes19TwJw/s320/250px-Barramundi.jpg" /></a></div><i>INTRODUCING BARRAMUNDI<br />
A relative newcomer to the U.S. market, barramundi is finding a place at high end restaurants and retailers because of its versatility and eco-friendly reputation.<br />
A member of the sea bass family, barramundi is native to Australia’s northern tropical waters and parts of Southeast Asia.<br />
PRODUCT FORM: <br />
Skinless, Boneless Fillets<br />
PRODUCT PROFILE:<br />
Barramundi has a firm, moist texture, large flakes and a sweet buttery flavor.<br />
QUICK PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS:<br />
BAKE – Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush fillets with melted butter or oil and season to taste. Place in greased baking dish and bake for approximately 15 minutes.<br />
GRILL – Pre-heat grill to medium high. Brush fillets with melted butter or oil and season to taste. Grill for 3-4 minutes. Turn and cook 3-4 more minutes.</i><br />
<br />
while i have you, wanted to tell you of a few more things we have now in our freezer and ice cream case-<br />
<br />
back by popular demand- northern chef wild shrimp!<br />
<br />
Organic Nectars ice cream (we used to carry this and it was super expensive) is back. it's now called Cashewtopia. We have vanilla, chocolate, chocolate hazelnut and pistachio. its also less expensive.<br />
<br />
So Delicious Sugar free Vanilla coconut ice cream and Almond milk ice cream cherry amaretto. <br />
<br />
Zoe's Premium Dog Food will be taking a hiatus- they are expanding so we may not get any until november december. <br />
<br />
Gabe the Fish Babe will also be taking a break. I believe they are in the middle of expanding as well. Its return is TBD.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for more new products in both cases. hoping to be back sooner than later.

That's right! We have a strong supply of delicious late harvest Murcott and Pixie tangerines from Sundance Organics in California to help you stave off those midsummer colds. They are sweet and easy to peel. A great addition to picnics and beach bags.Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10725457348773747276noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513973.post-73924571736033986702013-07-26T14:00:00.001-04:002013-07-26T14:00:35.375-04:00BOBO FARM CHICKENS ARE BACK!!!

Spring has arrived, and with it our renewed support of <i>Blue Moon Acres</i>. We have been enjoying their local <b><i>Spring Mix</i></b> for the last couple of years (coming from <i>Albert's Organics</i>), but now are happy to buy directly. <i>Blue Moon Acres</i> is a family owned and run operation providing some of the best <b><i>Spring Mix</i></b> we see throughout the year. Below are a few words from Rebecca (of Blue Moon) on what makes it so delicious:<br />
<br />
<i>"We devote so much thought and energy into crafting a healthy soil evironment for the greens to grow in, as soil itself is literally the bed from which the greens grow....We've updated the blend that is Blue Moon Acres <b>Spring Mix</b> 2013. You'll notice more volume and color as well as a much broader array of greens than in past years (11 different greens total.)"</i><br />

We also received a remarkable 265 cases of organic strawberries <span class="Object" id="OBJ_PREFIX_DWT71_com_zimbra_date">today</span>,
about half of the total that we need for this week (Happy Mother's
Day!). The number is remarkable in that there is a strawberry shortage
this week and our primary supplier could only offer <u><b>2 or 3 cases per
day</b></u>. Most of us have already heard about the wildfires in California.<br />

is the family of citrus that includes <b><i>Tangerines</i></b>, <b><i>Clementines</i></b>, <b><i>Satsumas</i></b> and some of the hybrids that include <b><i>Mandarins</i></b> in their
parentage. A hybrid of a <b><i>Tangerine</i></b> and <b><i>Orange</i></b> is known as a <b><i>Tangor</i></b>. Some
hybrids occur in nature, as did the <b><i>Temple Orange</i></b>, discovered in
Jamaica in the 1890's. As we near the end of the <b><i>Mandarin</i></b> season we
offer:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>Mandarin Murcott</i></b> of unknown parentage
but likely a hybrid of the <b><i>Honey Tangerine</i></b> and a <b><i>Sweet Orange</i></b>. The <b><i>Honey Tangerine</i></b> used to be known as the <b><i>Honey Murcott</i></b>, but that name was
shortened and the name "<b><i>Murcott</i></b>" lives on in the <i><b>Mandarin</b></i>. This late
season offering is very sweet, not that juicy, and rich in flavor.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b><i>Orri Mandarin</i></b> comes from Israel and is a cross between a <b><i>Temple Orange</i></b> and a fancy <b><i>Tangerine</i></b>. It is easy to peel, very sweet and juicy. Small orange
citrus that are easy to peel, sweet and juicy are often packed in 5
pound boxes and sold as clementines, but we know better and call them <b><i>Orri Mandarins</i></b>. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVD-utp_7lOHKQ8XNmUY53itjyilDsw-uqZCxiEdGHbDPlx3dBSS_crLkfOSIfrRDu3jtM6uxHQ_4CRXZIg5yo_oWjzkHwip45EGxStvYq0cTtsg7NzIzl2PiiVKf4905fUNYg7A/s1600/ginger_rogers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVD-utp_7lOHKQ8XNmUY53itjyilDsw-uqZCxiEdGHbDPlx3dBSS_crLkfOSIfrRDu3jtM6uxHQ_4CRXZIg5yo_oWjzkHwip45EGxStvYq0cTtsg7NzIzl2PiiVKf4905fUNYg7A/s320/ginger_rogers.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<div>
The answer begins in
China, whose <b><i>Ginger</i></b> we do not buy.<br />
<br />
Over the last couple of years, China
has had huge harvests of <b><i>Ginger</i></b>. The vast quantities kept the prices low
which made it hard for the rest of the world's producers to compete. It
also held down the profitability for the Chinese producers. Their plan
was to reduce production this year to help them raise their prices, and
some farmers had already chosen to plant more profitable crops.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When <i><b>Ginger</b></i> is harvested, it is typically cured for one or two months. This
aging and drying process is used to improve the quality, the retention
of flavor and the shelf life. It allows the <i><b>Ginger</b></i> to be brought to
market over a longer period of time, avoiding a glut and surfeit cycle.
This practice allows us to have access to "fresh" <i><b>Ginger</b></i> year round and
fosters the illusion that <i><b>Ginger</b></i> does not have only seasonal
availability.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxqXMpUdR1ykTSFwfCe3_SkoQG6IJ7VCRqgN4Geq0Eipq6ALs_9MR2t9E0t-xhmOiSzyE9drPDM34zWnIvQ37dD46zAJTic5am-4KMHSL1GByBDuGNaGzHUG6CCjGJq_wsJ5mdtg/s1600/ginger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxqXMpUdR1ykTSFwfCe3_SkoQG6IJ7VCRqgN4Geq0Eipq6ALs_9MR2t9E0t-xhmOiSzyE9drPDM34zWnIvQ37dD46zAJTic5am-4KMHSL1GByBDuGNaGzHUG6CCjGJq_wsJ5mdtg/s200/ginger.jpg" width="171" /></a>China experienced unseasonably
cold temperatures this past winter which led to a reduction in the size
of the expected crop, beyond the amount reduced by fewer plantings. This
cold weather delayed the washing and drying process for months and
during this extended storage more of the <i><b>Ginger</b></i> was lost to decay. All
of this added stress to the supply of <i><b>Ginger</b></i> from other parts of the
world.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are at the end of the Hawaiian
harvest. For the last few weeks we have only been able to obtain about a
tenth of our need. The conventional Brazilian harvest and the organic
Peruvian harvest typically arrive in the USA at some point in May. We
don't know exactly when and we don't know how supplies and prices will
be affected. We still don't know when we will see <b><i>Ginger</i></b> again, but now
you know why.</div>
