Cold Weather in Mexico

Some important information from one of our suppliers from Friday, February 4th:

"Hard to believe, but it was warmer in Edmonton last night than in many parts of Northern Mexico. This is the coldest blast that has hit some of these major growing regions in recorded history."

This will have major impacts on the produce available over at least the next couple of weeks: price and quality. We will be working around this to make sure everyone gets beautiful full bins of fruits and vegetables, but there may be some changes to what we can offer. Lettuce, asparagus, green onions, carrots, radishes, cucumbers, bell peppers, zucchini, celery, cilantro, and cauliflower are all expected to be impacted. Even if we normally wouldn't get some of those items from Mexico, we will still have supply issues when everyone is competing for produce from Arizona and California.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 604-708-2345 or email info@greenearthorganics.com.
