Lettuce, Red Leaf prices and seasonality
Red leaf lettuce is supplied year-round as production moves among growing regions. California's Central Coast is the main source from late spring through fall, while the desert valleys of Southern California and Arizona supply much of the winter crop; Florida also contributes in winter and spring. Domestic production supplies most U.S. lettuce, and wholesale availability can be affected by heat, rain, water conditions, pests, and the timing of transitions between regions. These reported prices are wholesale terminal-market prices, not retail store prices.
