Basil, lime leaves, tarragon, and thyme supplies are limited due to cold weather conditions.

• Unfavorable cold and rainy weather is impacting herb quality causing discoloration, early breakdown, and wilt
• Prices will remain elevated the next two weeks
• Recent cold temperatures have affected basil quality (shrivel and black leaves); volume is lower
• Lime leaves were impacted by the fires; better supplies are expected by the end of the month
• Tarragon is very limited and quality is poor; expect limited supplies and rising prices over the next four weeks
• Thyme is limited; quality is fair
• Forecasts for rain in Ventura County will slow production and lower yields
