UPDATE: MIXED BERRIES

May 11, 2026

Blueberries are becoming more readily available. Although the Mexican season is moving past peak production, California’s San Joaquin Valley season is ramping up, and East Coast growers are shipping out of Georgia and Florida. Raspberry and blackberry supplies remain steady overall, but rising temperatures are beginning to impact quality in some areas.

  • Mexican-grown supplies are past their peak; labor issues are also tightening availability
  • Heat has affected these crops for over three weeks, causing some leaking and soft skin
  • The Baja season has begun with improved quality
  • Stocks will increase through June
  • Expect markets to remain fairly steady
