North Bay offers a year-round supply of its principal, fresh produce items. These include apples, asparagus, blueberries, papayas and sweet potatoes. Mangoes will soon be available on a year-round basis as well. To ensure supply continuity, and offer a wider variety of products, North Bay markets fresh produce from both U.S. and Latin American member and non-member suppliers. Most of North Bay’s domestically grown produce is available during the spring, summer and early fall. Latin American products are imported counter-seasonal to those domestically grown to meet consumer demand. Imports supplement North Bay’s domestic supply base and provide consumers with a continuous flow of product.
