I waa asked to continue to share these as they come out. Here's this week's update. I'll probably start sharing on Fridays of every week since people find them so useful.

Market Report 4.9.2026
"Transition is underway, with the majority of growers expected to be in Salinas by the end of the week. Rain and cooler weather are in the forecast, which will slow growth patterns. Broccoli, Cauliflower, Romaine Hearts, and Celery remain escalated due to limited supply and quality concerns. Carrots continue to face ongoing supply challenges, with full recovery not expected until May. Artichokes, Bok Choy, and Napa remain extremely limited and escalated. Supplies and quality are good this week; however, growers anticipate that hot temperatures combined with the transition will create quality and supply issues, as well as potential loading delays."
Freight: Limited trucks and record high fuel costs are putting upward pressure on rates going into the holiday and beyond. We are seeing several freight companies, including sea freight companies, invoking fuel surcharges which will impact cost inputs.

Wow, up to 70% loss? That’s incredibly depressing. 🥴

I mean it is just one of the production regions I watch, but I expect Peru to have a bad year again as well. If you like bluebs stock up ;)

I actually eat tons of wild Canadian 🫐 so yes I shall stock up. I can’t imagine how much extra price gouging we’re gonna see over the next couple of months thanks to our infamously oligopolistic grocery market (am Canadian).

How long can you store these when “stocking up”?
evermorecoffee@reddit
I’m not sure. I’ve never bought more than like two bags at a time. 😅 Probably a couple years?

The backslash () in that link renders it 404 for me.
