Unless you are picking up pallets of New York upstate apples, onions from Orange County, cabbage from the state’s central or western areas; or perhaps New England or Pennsyvlania apples, Christmas shipments are pretty much finished….I guess you could still make a last minute delivery for something such as Aroostrock County, Maine potaotes, but that’s a stretch….Florida doesn’t offer a lot this time of the year. In the case of tomatoes, it is even less probable due to fall rains and heat smacking the crop by as much as 30%. Still, mature green tomato loadings are taking place from areas such as Palmetto, Immakolee and Homestead….Imported produce volume also is increasing with arrivals at various ports on the East Coast.
Maine potatoes – grossing around $2200 to Baltimore
Western New York cabbage – $1800 to New York City
South Flrida tomatos – $2400 to New York
