Thyme price chart, 1-year history
Thyme prices and seasonality
Fresh thyme is produced in California and other herb-growing areas, while imports from Mexico and other supplying countries also contribute to U.S. availability. Production can occur across much of the year in multiple regions, but weather, labor-intensive harvesting, quality, and shipment volumes can influence wholesale trading. Competition between domestic and imported herbs is also a market factor. Reported USDA terminal-market prices are wholesale prices, not prices paid by consumers in retail stores.
