Please click here to view a Markon Live from the Fields video about the spring growing transitions. Markon First Crop (MFC) and Ready Set Serve (RSS) Lettuce and Leafy Greens are transitioning from the Arizona/California desert growing region to the Salinas Valley. MFC and RSS Celery and Herbs are being packed in Oxnard. MFC Strawberries are available in both Oxnard and Santa Maria.

  • The Arizona/California desert season is coming to an end
  • Green Leaf, iceberg, and romaine will be increasingly available out of the Huron and Salinas Valley growing regions over the next 10-14 days
  • Strawberry quality is improving; ample supplies are expected for Easter and Mothers’ Day
  • Markon inspectors will be monitoring each region daily
