We have good news on eggs, with organic eggs from Bendigo along with the Honest Eggs from Muckleford both available in good amounts this week. Most produce is coming from around Victoria right now, so weather up north should only affect bananas and sweet potatoes - if at all. So far, it's looking good, fingers crossed.
With brassicas slowing in the hot sun, its centre stage for eggplant, capsicum and tomato this week. Plenty of all these in the boxes, along with biodynamic beetroot, lettuce from Vic growers, local zucchini and tomato, and excellent value sweet corn.
Daylesford carrot season kicked off last week, with Adam in Bullarto harvesting the first paddock - they are excellent as always - as they have been for the last 20 years.
We want folks growing their own produce, and we want the boxes to fit around what’s in your garden. Or what a generous friend has left in your fridge.
For local produce, you can’t go past tomato, cauliflower, broccoli, eggplant, spring onion, cucumber and zucchini - along with all the leafy greens right now.
New season starting for Vic cauliflower this week, and excellent value for broccoli, cabbage and pumpkin. More local tomato, cucumber and zucchini means we’ll see better summer prices in coming weeks.
Our favourite time of year is blood plum and peach season - and this week we have our favourite biodynamic stone fruit grower harvesting both.
This week's new season produce includes nashi, grapes, rockmelon, red onions, fennel, avocado and sweet corn. Local tomato not far away, and just a few weeks for carrot season to start.
New season potatoes from Vic growers, grapes from Mildura and early season apples and pears are all new additions for the start of the year, and the continuation of the summer season.
