From Cinco de Mayo guacamole recipes to the long-awaited summer grilling season, red onions are finding their place in a host of seasonal recipes, making the category a consistent stop during shoppers’ grocery trips. With demand on the rise, we recently gained exclusive insights from the team at Baloian Farms as the grower prepares for the kick-off of its red onion season.
AndNowUKnow seeks to bring you the latest information on a variety of crops. With Baloian Farms’ recent production update as a guide, let’s explore some hot-ticket categories that have seen recent market fluctuations.
Supplies of lettuces have been fairly steady and plentiful out of the desert-growing regions. However, following a cold front this week and next week in the region–including Coachella Valley, the Imperial Valley, and Northern Mexico–that’s likely to change.
Baloian Farms, a grower, packer, and distributor of premium-quality fresh produce, is pleased to announce Magatte Gueye as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at its Fresno, California, headquarters. Magatte joined Baloian Farms as CFO on December 9, 2024, succeeding David Cuadros, who served as CFO for 30 years.
Nestled in California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley in
Fresno, Calif. lies a multi-generational family farm
with quite a story. Baloian Farms traces its roots to an
incredible journey that began over a century ago, when
an immigrant named Charles Baloian fled Armenia
during the Armenian genocide in search of a new life
in America.
Lettuce and leafy green demand is starting to pick up. “In the last 10 days, it’s kind of been slow. However last week we could really feel a good shift and there’s a lot more demand that still seems to be building,” says Jay Angulo of Baloian Farms.
