Some new season produce for the Victorian boxes this week with the arrival of pumpkin, red onions, spuds, plums and pears. A couple weeks of warmth makes all the difference to the selection in the seasonal boxes.
We didn’t have much luck with the Sweet Corn last week - so going to try including it again this week. Along with biodynamic tomato and cucumber from favourite growers, local zucchini, new season spuds and top value cabbage from Pakenham.
Hope you’ve managed a restful holiday period. And are looking forward to a summer of seasonal veg. This week the first of the biodynamic tomatoes are with us.
For the last week of the year (!) do we go with salad veg or roasting veg?
We’ve tried to mix it up a little - plenty of summer salad veg in bean, cucumber, radish, lettuce and tomato; along with new season pumpkin, capsicum, and of course carrots and spuds.
Enjoy the last weeks veg box and eat well over the break 😀
The seasonal changes continue. A burst of heat and we have Beans coming back (hopefully) and from closer to home we have the super sweet Sugar Snap Peas from northern Vic and Tomato from down Gippsland. And if the rain...
First week of Summer should see us tilt more to those salad vegies and away from brassicas and root veg. However, we still have a nice mix all the way through to Christmas.
Vic growers bringing broad beans, leafy greens, brassicas and new season stone fruit.
We’re seeing the first signs of the seasons crossing over with artichoke, broad beans, asparagus slowing whilst local growers starting to bring in cucumber, and victorian snow peas starting off strongly.
