Whilst we wait for the first signs of asparagus and kohlrabi, we have some new season parsnip from up north and the return of iceberg lettuce. Check out this week’s mix in the boxes with leafy greens, brassicas, root veg,...
We’re seeing the first picks of asparagus from down Gippsland way, but still a little early for our organic growers - not long now though :)
The first week of Spring is bringing us round beans - along with seasonal brassicas - and after a false start last week, we should see wombok too.
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 🙂
