Welcome to this week’s Market Report! Summer’s knocking louder every day, and fresh flavours are bursting through the door. Sweet local peas are popping, Cookstown Greens’ salad mixes are looking extra lush, and we’ve got zucchini and beans on deck, ready to make their debut in the next few weeks.

Here’s what’s lighting us up right now—what’s brand-new, what’s coming fast, what’s leaving soon, what’s tasting peak-perfect, and how the price tags are behaving. Let’s dig in…

📈 What’s Up? Chinese peeled garlic, corn, yellow zucchini, kiwi, and Mexican grown strawberries are all creeping up this week.

📉 What’s Down? Prices are easing on Shanghai bok choy and kale as the local season kicks in. Limes are coming down in price, too, thanks to better availability.

🌟 New Arrivals: First harvest of local English peas, Cookstown Greens organic field-grown Hot ’n Spicy mix and Baby Arugula, plus wild-foraged BC spruce tips!

☀️On the Horizon: Local zucchini and local green beans should hit the dock within the next couple of weeks.

❌ Delisted/Leaving Soon: Here’s the scoop on what’s on its way out—check the details below!

🟥 Red Flags: A customs delay resulted in some shorts on Fresh Origins edible flowers last week, but they’re back in stock now.

🪴 Baby Bunched Beets are Back: After a brief gap in availability due to some quality issues in the growing region, our red, gold and striped baby bunched beets are back in stock and looking great.

❤️ Produce Pick of the Week: Quebec grown Easter Egg and Breakfast radishes!

🍞 Pantry Pick of the Week: Have you tried our new Bunster’s “Buntreal” Brioche-style bun?

• Cookstown Hot n’ Spicy Salad Mix (Organic) | Code 10723 - This organic blend of Asian greens, lettuces, and tot soi packs a mustardy punch. Serve raw in salads or wraps, or flash-sauté into stir-fries and curries.

Easter Egg & Breakfast Radishes | Codes 4768 & 5249

We’re into local radish season and these Quebec-grown beauties arrived crisp and lively—Easter Eggs flashing pastel purples, pinks, and whites; Breakfast radishes skinny, sweet-hot, and perfectly bunched.

Why chefs are reaching for them:

• Plate pop: Instant colour contrast for crudos, tartines, and composed salads.

• Balanced bite: Mild pepper up front, clean finish—plays nice with butter, citrus, or cultured cream.

• Zero waste: Tops turn into quick-fire pesto or sautéed greens.

Shave paper-thin for a chilled garnish, roast whole with honey and miso, or quick-pickle for an acid kick.
