Strawberries

Fri, Oct 10th, 2025

Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

Due to recent rain and cooler weather:

  • Strawberry production will be disrupted through next week.
  • Markets are already tight and expected to remain short through October, possibly into November.
  • Prices will increase next week due to limited supply.
  • Shippers are prioritizing contracts and program orders, leaving minimal fruit for open market sales.
  • Expect reduced fill rates and pushed orders throughout the week.
  • With fall/winter weather approaching, it’s recommended to review and submit numbers for November-start contracts in the CMS portal to ensure better coverage.

A weather model for Tuesday, October 14th at 10:00 AM PST was also included BELOW for reference.

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