Final Victorian beetroot before the season shifts north, plus new season parsnips and tender fancy lettuce from local growers. 

Delayed tomatoes from last week finally arrive, with Lady Williams apples, returning avocados, continuing citrus varieties, and nice value for bananas and

THIS WEEKS PRODUCE

Bairnsdale BROCCOLINI is back in abundance for the week and just $8.95 a bunch.

Loose BEETROOT from Vic growers is now slowing, with the season moving over to northern growers after this week. So we’ll be including a pick of beets with leaves from Swan Hill in the boxes.

BEANS are back (Broad and round), and should be more consistent as the weather warms up (and rains stays away whilst picking).

We have just finalised our partnership with Bulla Farm, the MUSHROOM grower from Diggers Rest. MUSHROOM Will be in all the boxes Mixed & VIC through out the whole month of October 

New season PARSNIP welcomed by a few last week - back in this week's boxes.

Local growers have started picking ASPARAGUS down in Dalmore, just outside Melbourne - still too rich for us, we’ll wait a week or two before including.

Large heads of COS LETTUCE return whilst we wait for the BABY COS to return next week or the week after.

Our apples for the boxes will be LADY WILLIAMS from Red Hill; and we’re bringing AVOCADO back in the boxes for this week for a little different, along with the usual citrus of MANDARIN, NAVEL ORANGES and the return of TANGELO from Mildura..

DAISY MANDARIN returns too, as we say farewell to the Imperial Mandies.

BANANA are back in price thankfully, and STRAWBERRIES continue for $16.50.
