Strawberries and Delta blueberries are rich and deep in color and flavor. Cantaloupe has made its debut this week and are super sugary with a perfect density. We are still a few weeks away from peak flavor tomatoes but rest assured, once Oxbow Produce has them, they will be the best! Other notable, not-to-be-missed, organic, seasonal produce include Tokyo turnips, asparagus and flame grapes.
