Smooth movement on organic baby lettuce
Supplies of organic baby lettuce are good currently. Patty Emmert of Duncan Family Farms in Goodyear, AZ notes that supplies are coming from both the desert region of Central Arizona Yuma and the Imperial Valley and supplies also come from Florida. Duncan will be in Arizona with these crops until April which is when it transitions for the summer season to supplies from California and Oregon.
It’s believed that continued steadiness lies ahead for the crop. “As we come into the warmer time in the winter, we’ll see steadier growth. There does not seem to be any indication that there will be significant issues with the exception of the typical pest pressure that comes in as the weather warms up,” says Emmert.
