Iceberg and Romaine Alert!

By ljones | Produce Market Report, Uncategorized

Iceberg and Romaine Lettuce Alert!

Extreme rain in the growing areas has caused delays in harvesting iceberg and romaine lettuces. Farmers are unable to harvest when it is raining and the heavy rains led to very muddy fields. You can see in the pic below how the equipment has left deep ruts in the fields due to the muddy conditions.

We will be extremely tight on all processed lettuce products.
This includes:
Chopped and shredded romaine
Chopped and shredded iceberg
Tossed salad mix

We will also be tight on whole heads of both iceberg and romaine. If you have the ability to substitute spring mix or spinach for these products, we strongly advise you to do so as your orders will be allocated or shorted as we will not have product to sell.

We expect this situation to continue for up to 3 weeks. Our orders will continue to be cut, allocated, or delayed meaning your orders will be cut or allocated as well.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and continued business.

Information you need about forgivable loans

By ljones | Uncategorized

HELP IS HERE!

Are you aware of the small business relief funds available from the CARES act and the SBA? Amazing programs are available for you today that can help your restaurant survive or even thrive during this difficult time. Consult with your attorney today to see how you can best take advantage of these opportunities.

Quick takeaways from the program, please consult your attorney and accountant to see how this can directly apply to you!

How your business can get access to free money from the just passed CARES Payroll protection act with SBA loans
Go to NAICS web site and choose your classification that must start with 72 ( https://www.naics.com/six-digit-naics/?code=72 )
Your business will be able to get a low interest loan with no closing costs from your current bank for 2.5 times your average monthly payroll over the past year
Once your business receives the approval for the loan, you will have 8 weeks where you can spend money on: rent or mortgage payments, payroll including taxes and benefits, and utilities
Our interpretation is that you could open for carry out for 8 weeks or wait until you get close to opening to take the loan and then your first 8 weeks of reopening will be done with free rent and free labor and free utilities.
