Has anyone seen rhubarb in Oakland/Berkeley stores recently?

I had some rhubarb pie recently and I'd like to make some for myself. Thanks.

    Not that close to Berkeley, but in St. Helena (Napa Valley) Sunshine Foods has some organic rhubarb. Deep red and firm. $4.69.

      Berkeley Bowl East today (yes, I survived Saturday at the Bowl):
      rhubarb from Washington, $2.39 per pound. It looked OK, a bit green.
      I did not see organic rhubarb, which has recently been available at about $4.50 per pound.

        The stuff I saw at the Berkeley farmers market last Saturday was kind of scrawny and pale, did not look nearly as nice as what I bought from Monterey Market a while back.

          Saw it again at the farmers market today. Swanson? It was firm but very green.

          Monterey Market has had it for a while, and I saw some at the Berkeley Farmers Market a few weeks ago (Kaki Farms, I think).
