With the year coming to an end, we’ll be sending out an email tomorrow or next day with our Christmas closing times.

For produce, some new season plantains, cherries, garlic and mango for you.  And read below about potato shortage for Christmas :(

Eat well,
Graham

THIS WEEKS PRODUCE

From Nyah in northern Victoria, SNOW PEAS are in abundance right now, and should continue until Christmas at least.


Biodynamic CUCUMBER from Inverleigh near Geelong, and Labertouche in Gippsland are also plentiful.

And we have a small amount of small delicious ROMA TOMATO also from Labertouche growers.

Rain up north is cutting short the POTATO season - 200mm has wiped out the Christmas crop of spuds with growers losing most of their crop. We got early word, and have stocked up for a few weeks ago but it's unlikely we’ll have enough to make it through to the end of year.

If you’d like potatoes for your Christmas dinner, we’d recommend ordering them over the next couple of weeks and holding on to them - they’ll be hard to find Christmas week (organic ones, that is).

For the veg boxes, we’ll have small SEBAGO CHATS.

We also have a small amount of SWEET POTATO this week and next.

LEEK starting to suffer in the heat - last couple of weeks for them - expect SPRING ONION in the boxes instead.

ASPARAGUS not looking the best, so we’ve taken off the list and will see if we get a late season flush to include again.

New season GARLIC from Ballarat starting - lovely garlic this crop.

For fruit, we have a few new things for you - PLANTAIN Banana for a couple of weeks for something different (regular Cavendish bananas in the boxes though)

A new pick of Harcourt CHERRIES, with the Ron variety coming through this week.

And for stone fruit, plenty of all varieties, with PEACHES and biodynamic APRICOTS our pick of them.

For the larger food boxes, delicious MANGO are included this week.
