With produce travelling from all corners of the globe there is always something you should stay away from.

This page is designed to ensure you don’t get caught out by listing something on your menu when supply is proving slightly tricky.

Fresh produce revolves around the climate so changes happen frequently, make sure you come back every week to find out what will be difficult during the coming week.

How Scary | Is Our Cat This Week???

Rhubarb
The UK season of rhubarb has come to a drastic close as the crowns start to fall into dormancy for the winter months.

The season will switch over to Holland for supply but be warned availability could be tight and there will most definitely be a rise in cost.

Now is the time to find something else to celebrate until late December when the arrival of the Yorkshire forced season happens.
Strawberry
The strawberry season is becoming tough as the Dutch glasshouse season is rapidly coming to an end.

Reduced daylight, poor yields due to end of the season coupled with extremely high demand along with no alternative until Spain or Africa start equals a total strawberry disaster.

Our advice is DO NOT USE as they will become costly this week.
Red Chicory
The annual autumnal dry up in supply of red chicory is about to occur.

Although white chicory will still be available the red is going to start to struggle as supply becomes extremely tight and prices escalate to unaffordable levels.

White chicory is a great alternative but if it’s the colour you are hunting for try to utilise Raddichio

Figs
The European season has now fully come to a close and the only place for figs is Brazil.

Prices are steep as supply is tight due to new season crop not being fully ripe. Demand is high so prices are very steep.

There is good news it can only get better
Heirloom Tomatoes
The season is still here but volume from France is very tight meaning prices are rapidly rising.

Please be warned you should be looking at moving away from heirloom tomatoes if you can, why not try some Northern Grown LED tomatoes !!!!
Coloured Carrots
The UK season for coloured carrots is over, and we have had to move back over the water into France for supply so prices are slightly more.

Bunched rainbow carrots along with loose purple, yellow, red are all available but be warned they are not as cheap as they were last week.
