If you love citrus season, you’ll be loving the boxes at the moment - blood oranges, cara cara, ellendale mandarins and tangelos - we’re rotating a nice selection of varieties the season has on offer.

Some new season varieties of apples are coming through too.

Eat well,
Graham

PS. Choose from one of our box selection, and let us know your “no list”; or make one of your own by choosing the vegetables and fruit you prefer.

THIS WEEKS PRODUCE

Biodynamic SWEDE from Darren in Inverleigh started last week, and should be here until mid- Spring.

Darren has one or two more picks of his delicious smoky CELERIAC and then season done for another year.

Swan Hill KOHLRABI is our other root veg in this week's boxes (although technically it is a brassica), along with Pakenham PARSNIP.

Whilst ONIONS supplies are dwindling (and starting to sprout in time for Spring planting ) we are going LEEK from Colac in the veg boxes.

Greens will be large bunches SPINACH and some tender CHINESE GREENS for the Victorian boxes.

Mixed Choice boxes will have more TOMATO from up north, and this week we’re hoping we’ll get some CUCUMBER also.

Local POTATO season is finished so all the spuds are from up north, and we'll have Dutch Cream and Sebago to choose from.

And local CARROTS also finished - this crop is from Tassie.

For fruit, citrus is still the focus. We have small TANGELO from Mildura, Navel ORANGES also from near the border, BLOOD ORANGES from Swan Hill and Shepparton GRAPEFRUIT.

And some new season APPLE varieties for you to try with Sundowner and Kalie varieties our current picks.
