Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

California Lemons:

  • Market pricing remains strong across all sizes.
  • Sizing is tight, especially on 165ct and smaller, which are in very limited supply.
  • Most available fruit is Choice grade, with limited Fancy grade due to seasonal conditions.
  • Quality is fair overall—some fruit may show light scarring or softness.
  • Plan ahead: Please place orders 3–4 days in advance whenever possible. Same- and next-day orders may be limited in availability.
  • Contract customers are prioritized during tight supply windows.

Imported Lemons (Offshore):

  • Import volumes are lighter than usual.
  • Argentina and Mexico are shipping lower volumes due to crop challenges.
  • Chilean arrivals are delayed, which may further impact availability in the coming weeks.

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

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
