Biodynamic NAVEL ORANGES look to be a regular now after a slow start to the season.
Ronald will also be bringing in his football shaped PUMPKINS.
Small RED SWEET POTATO have been a huge favourite - they have a short season, and are not that common so we’ll be getting them in the boxes before they disappear again.
SPINACH has been short and unpredictable the last few weeks - hoping we have them back this week after this rain.
LETTUCE is pretty happy - plenty Baby Cos from Mornington. And new season RADISH is back in the Victorian boxes.
BROCCOLI and CAULIFLOWER also having a nice flush in this winter weather - nice and fresh and great value from biodynamic growers, as well as some closer to home near Pakenham.
RED ONIONS from biodynamic growers near Geelong is our preferred onion - LEEK from Colac and Spring Onion from Labertouche are also up there.
And AVOCADO also well and truly back in season - coming in green, but ripening up after about a week and eating really well - have reduced in price by about half in the last couple of months - now 2 for $4.
