Week 31 - Mandarin, Blood Oranges, Red Grapefruit and Meyer Lemons
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.
Sweet potato, chat potato, tomato, broccolini and mandarins all feature in this week's boxes - and make up the mix of top value organic produce this week.
Eat well,
Food Garden

THIS WEEKS PRODUCE
We’ll see more BROCCOLI now with growers in south east Melbourne and further down in Gippsland starting to harvest.
ZUCCHINI continues at reasonable value too. Some warmer weather brings early Spring TOMATO from up north too.
Winter root veg is tailing off early this season, most likely due to an early start to harvest - PARSNIP from Inverleigh and TURNIP from Colac both are slowing, if not finished.
CARROTS from Mildura are slow to start after the Daylesford season has finished. And the local POTATO season is over this week, and will start again next January. All spuds from up north from next week.
And for fruit, MANDARIN from Mildura has been consistently excellent, along with AVOCADO now 3 for $7.
Apples this week will be FUJI; and new season citrus BLOOD ORANGES from Swan Hill join us this week also in the VIC boxes.
