Availability & sourcing calendar

When each product is available on the New York wholesale market, and where it comes from. This is availability to buy, not a local harvest calendar: most produce reaches New York year-round through imports, and what changes with the season is the origin.

59 categories covering 386 products.

Origin switches worth watching
