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. And from local growers closer to home, we still have carrots, potatoes and turnips for you.
We’ve been getting lots of nice comments regarding the cara cara oranges in last week's boxes - these beauties got me eating oranges again - super sweet with a little grapefruit tartness. Plenty of time left in the season for them to make an appearance again.
Very few changes week to week in the boxes at the moment, as the variety of produce is limited more than usual by the colder weather. Some milder days may change that up for the coming weeks.
Biodynamic root veg from near Geelong continue to be our favourite of seasonal veg - beetroot, celeriac, parsnip - along with biodynamic cauliflower from up north. And you’ll find celery, chinese greens and capsicum in the boxes for the week.
We’re replacing onions with leeks, turnips for parsnips and spinach for silverbeet in this week's boxes - and including seasonal brassicas of red cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli.
This week's boxes are full of great value brassicas (cabbage, broccoli, cauli) and seasonal root veg (turnip, celeriac, beetroot). Leafy greens of lettuce and spinach. And fruit of citrus, pears and apples.
The final week for Strawberries, last weeks for Capsicum, Cucumber and Tomato, and first week for Tangelo.
Celery returns to the boxes this week, whilst the root veg continues in abundance with biodynamic parsnip, swede and carrots.
A nice nod to brassicas, root veg and biodynamic produce in this week's boxes.
