Produce Weekend notes 2.20.15

-We have a new (to us) Apple. It's called Lady Alice. Eric V says it tastes like a grown up Honeycrisp.  

 

 -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. 

-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. 

-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. 

-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. 

-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.
