Richter Berries Now Available EXCLUSIVELY at CM!!
Written by Austin M., Central Market Produce Inspector on Friday, July 02 2010
Richter Farms, a long time exclusive grower for Central Market is now available at CM stores! One of the last Washington State growers of berries, the Richters grow absolutely delicious berries hand-selected when they are perfectly ripe. And the next day, they are flown straight to Central Market!
Located in the Puyallup Valley, one of the best places in the world to grow raspberries, Richter Farms has just the right climate and soil for raspberries, which prefer a slightly acidic soil. California growers, by comparison, have alkaline soil, which requires treatment before raspberries can grow.
On top of gold and red raspberries, the Richters also grow beautiful currents, gooseberries, tayberries (a raspberry/blackberry cross,) and nectarberries (which is basically a boysenberry designed for fresh eating.)
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher once had a flat of Richter's raspberries accompany her home after eating them during an international summit in Houston, and with with good reason, this fruit is world-class!

We carry it, and I love the stuff. I'd call ahead and ask for the cheese manager to make sure it's on the shelf for you.
