June 2025 Trend Report
Vacation time, the best of the year.
Picnics spread on a checkered sheet,
with laughter shared and food to eat.”
-Catherine Pulsifer
Summer break is within sight for most kids, and for some of us, it’s graduation and Father’s Day not far behind. Maybe you are just looking forward to the warm days and long summer nights. Whatever your outlook, we hope delicious food is part of that experience. Warm weather brings with it the splendor of summer’s bounty: asparagus, artichokes, cucumbers, new potatoes, beets, chard, eggplants, zucchini, and fennel. Let’s not forget joyful stone fruits coming into season: apricots, cherries, and peaches. As we enjoy the spoils of summer and spend time spoiling Dad’s or the father figures in our lives, we will also dive into summer flavor/ingredient trends that are capturing attention, particularly in the area of Mexican cuisine.
