Organic Fruit Shortage?

Athena0809

I haven't been able to find organic blueberries in a while, and it looks like some people seem to have a hard time finding organic apples, too. Have you notice this?

I haven't noticed any shortage here in the Midwest. Tons of apples!

We have tons or organic apples but I went to buy organic blueberries and they looked so bad!!  They were sooooo tiny!  I guess they are getting out of season!

Blueberries go out of season early August, usually. Berries in general are only good in the summer.

I haven't had any problems finding apples, but I can't find blueberries, probably b/c they aren't in season. Blueberries grow really well where I live, so we usually do U-pick once a year and freeze enough to use for the entire year.

Apples were in short supply until a few weeks ago, but they were also out of season. Now all berries are pretty much gone. It's just the seasons changing. This is the times of year primarily for apples, pears, grapes, figs, and roots.
