AvoTerra, by Index Fresh, is currently promoting avocados for upcoming holidays. Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day represent perfect opportunities to increase revenues from avocados due to heavy consumption during these times. The company is currently sourcing good volumes with excellent demand from San Diego to San Luis Obispo, California, as well as the Mexican state of Michoacan. The continuation of consumer demand and quality fruit is expected to create a profitable avocado market during the summer. President, Dana Thomas, tells AndNowUKnow, “With the combination of domestic and international supplies, the U.S. is poised to consume a record 1.6 billion pounds or more of Hass, meaning per capita consumption will for the first time top 5 pounds each." <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">The Flavor Tree is gearing up for its cherry season, which kicks off in late April with Brooks and its proprietary Sequoia variety as the first available offerings. The company’s cherry line-up also includes its proprietary Yosemite variety. The season will stretch to mid-June with new coastal Bings. The crop is looking good and The Flavor Tree is expecting great volume from the second week of May on. Kaleb Smith, Sales Assistant, tells AndNowUKnow, “We’re excited about our Cherry Bombs, a stemless dark-red to black cherry that’s very sweet and crunchy, as well as our newest offering, our proprietary Verry Cherry Plums, an innovative and sweet cherry-plum cross.” <hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
