Carrot supplies will remain limited through February due to weather-related issues that are reducing yields in California, according to Markhon Cooperative of Salinas, CA.

Value-added packs such as Ready-Set-Serve (RSS) Baby Carrots, RSS Carrot Coins, RSS Carrot Matchsticks, and RSS Shredded Carrots will require advance order lead time of 96 hours to help fill orders in full.
