Inside New York Fruit Auction at Washington Market
The New York Fruit Auction operated at Hudson River piers 27 and 28 before moving to Hunts Point in the Bronx next year. William R. Wood, president and chief auctioneer, notes the craft demands on-the-job training and keen psychology to pace bids as citrus and other produce flow from California, Washington, and Oregon to New York buyers. Auctions run weekdays from 7 am to 3 pm with buyers arriving as early as 3 am to inspect lots.
