Grocery stores in the US are reporting shortages of organic foods, in some cases extreme. There is a nationwide supply shortage in major grocery chains for organic and cage-free eggs. Organic cucumbers and berries, among other produce, are also in limited supply. Strawberries are in such low supply that one New York grocery store had to push the price up to near double digits.
Organic foods have become more and more popular over the years, which could explain some of the limited supplies. This, along with less than ideal weather for growing crops like berries.
Good advice is to eat in season for better selection and less expensive food. And if you don't want to pay exorbitant prices for a berry, take a walk down the frozen aisle.
