Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter weekend filled with good food and great company!

Here is your quick market update!

Funnies Line Picks This Week

🍋 *Lemons*: perfect for all the Easter seafood!
Funnies lemons tend to be more mature, which means more juice 🙌

🥑 *Shepherd avocados*: also available as Funnies this week
💡 Imperfect on the outside, perfect on the inside... and always great value!

Fruit Highlights

🍇 *Red grapes* are our pick this week; beautiful eating and stunning on a cheese platter
