ORANGE YOU SAD ABOUT CITRUS?
"

Chris Henwood, Produce Manager, Says, "The Weather Is Not Heating Up For The Citrus Producing States."

Citrus farmers in Florida and California are struggling with getting product to consumers but for different reasons.

In California, a freeze several weeks ago caused 40% crop loss of navel oranges, and significant losses in cara cara oranges.

 We Need Help

Due to these losses in crops, supply of these items are tighter and they are more expensive.

Florida's citrus problems are due to a disease called citrus greening. The greening disease has been a problem in Florida for over five years. It had previously been observed in citrus in Asia, Africa, India and Brazil, and now has migrated to Texas, Georgia, Louisiana, and California. It is caused by an invasive insect that spreads the bacteria  Candidatus Liberibacter Asiaticus, while feeding, from infected tree to non-infected tree. "The bacterium that causes greening is hard to treat because it flourishes deep inside the tree, in its vascular system...it disrupts the flow of the nutrients trees need to survive."

The fruits on infected citrus trees often never grow to full size and never change from green to orange in color before falling off the tree. In Florida, 135,000 acres of citrus groves have been abandoned due to the greening, and over $4.5 billion dollars and 9,000 jobs have been lost. For more information, on citrus greening in Florida, check out the links below. 

 

Time Is Running Out To Save Florida's Oranges

Florida citrus growers worry that deadly bacteria will mean end of orange juice 

 

UF researchers are taking a three-pronged approach to fighting a potentially devastating citrus disease

Jeremy's Pick:  
 Bell's Cherry Stout @ $16.99/12 Oz 6 Pack

Tinted ruby-black, Cherry Stout gains its signature tartness from 100% Montmorency cherries grown in Michigan's Traverse City region. Rather than doubling up on sweetness, this tart cherry varietal serves as a counterpoint to the warm, dark chocolate notes from the malt bill. Lightly hopped for balance, this stout is one of the cornerstones of the Bell's stout portfolio.

 Scott's Picks: 
Danish Havarti Dill Cheese
One of Denmark's finest, Havarti Dill, brings a mildly flavorful & aromatic quality to Castello Havarti.
Scott says, "It's great with cucumber".
