Brussel Sprouts

Fri, Jan 16th, 2026

Dear Ole Tyme Customers:

  • Brussels sprout supplies remain extremely tight. Industry-wide, plants are struggling to size, with harvest cycles running 5-8 days longer than normal per cut.
  • These challenges, driven by ongoing weather impacts, have resulted in continued high market conditions across the category. Field crews are working diligently to harvest the best possible product; however, limited yields and smaller sizing—particularly out of Mexico—are preventing supply from fully recovering.
  • While we had hoped for improvement last week, continued supply constraints have delayed any meaningful recovery.
  • We will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates as the situation evolves. Additional communication will follow as soon as supply begins to stabilize.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your Sales Representative.

Thanks,

Ole Tyme Produce
