Lovers of leafy greens look towards the Victorian boxes this week - with pak choy, spinach, bay cos lettuce, beetroot leaves and broccolini.
Warmer weather up north is bringing excellent value for tomato, green capsicum and eggplant - lets make the most of it whilst the weather is cold down here.
We can’t go past the biodynamic brassicas of cauliflower and broccoli, so expect to continue to get plenty in the boxes along with more local root veg of parsnip, celeriac and beetroot.
Nice to see some Tomato joining us from up north and from polytunnels in Gippsland to provide some relief from the root veg - which are slowing early this Winter.
For seasonal value try the broccolini from south gippsland and the chat potato from up north. Both feature heavily in this week's boxes.
Local carrots and potatoes are coming to an end from this week 🙁but we still have plenty of hardy brassicas 🙂
Local carrots and potatoes are coming to an end. Broccoli has also ceased but we are seeing Baby Broccoli starting to be available. We’ll be looking south for our carrots and north for our spuds.
Both sides of the bay are picking excellent produce right now - with onions, celeriac, leek, parsnip, beetroot from the west; and kale, lettuce, spinach, fennel, cabbage from the east.
You’ll find celery, chinese greens and oranges in the boxes for the week.
