Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Crop & Supply Update

Idaho & Washington weather has been favorable, supporting a strong upcoming crop.
Old crop storage supplies are nearly depleted.
New crop potatoes are starting to roll in, but availability is limited, especially for larger sizes (40–70 ct).

Regional Highlights

Idaho: Norkotahs are starting; Burbanks expected later this month.
Washington: New crop available, but skewing toward smaller sizes (90–120 ct).
Colorado/Wisconsin: Storage supplies wrapping up; new crop available with smaller profiles.

Market Conditions

The market remains firm, with tight supply on larger sizes.
Expect price increases, especially on #2 potatoes.
Quality is generally good, though some storage lots may show minor imperfections.

What You Can Do

Plan ahead: Advanced ordering is recommended, especially if you need larger sizes.
Stay flexible: Smaller sizes are more readily available and may offer better value.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
