What's in Season

This week we see a new season for pumpkin, daikon, biodynamic cucumber, snow peas, bullhorn capsicum and raspberries And superb value for this time of year for tomato, cucumber, zucchini, cauliflower and especially snow peas.

Plenty of seasonal value in the boxes this week, with snow peas, tomato, lettuce, broccolini, cabbage and cauliflower all abundantly coming from Vic growers. Which means top quality, and top value - win win.

A mix of Summer salad veg and Autumn brassicas in this week's boxes. Expect spring onion, bullhorns, tomato, cucumber, cauliflower, cabbage and broccolini bunches. For everyone making your own order and box, beans, snow peas, tomato, cucumber and zucchini are all excellent value.

Final week for seedlings with still a few tomatoes available, along with banana peppers, cucumber, basil and other herbs. One more week for $4.90 Daylesford Strawberries from Wombat Organics. And the stone fruit season is not far away.

New season local Strawberries from Bullarto get started this week - just $4.90 punnets, direct from Adam at Wombat Organics. Another couple of weeks for Florian’s snow peas, and won't be too long before his rouge de marmande tomatoes start.

Still a month to the end of Spring but starting to see more signs of seasons changing - eggplant, tomato, cucumber, snow peas and valencia oranges - all starting to make an appearance from Vic growers.

A few changes to the Vic boxes now zucchini, onions and cabbage are arriving. We should see more new season produce arriving in the coming weeks. Florian from Mount Franklin starts his season this week, with Oak and Cos Lettuce picked for you.

This week the Mixed Choice will get a taste of Gippsland Artichokes (last week's recipe will be useful), and new season Purple Broccolini bunches.

It’s usually a slow time for produce in Spring - counterintuitive maybe, but growers are busy raising seedlings and planting rather than harvesting. Which is why it's always nice when we get something new at this time of year.
