Blood oranges are back in season!

They can be eaten like a regular orange, or used to make marmalade.

They are a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, manganese, anthocyanins, antioxidants, and dietary fibre.

As it is still school holidays, I’m not delivering on Thursday this week.

Like last week, all postcodes will receive a delivery on Wednesday.

Have a great week!

Cheers,

Michael

Have a great week!

The recent cold snap is creating broccoli and cauliflower shortages.

In short, the cold weather has slowed down growth.

We’ve taken broccoli off the online store as we can’t guarantee supply next week. Broccolini is in the same boat (however it’s still on the online store).

Asian greens such as GaiLan (Chinese Broccoli) and BokChoy are alternatives.

Have a great week!

Deliveries as usual this week, no Monday Public Holidays to contend with.

I’ve added Marlo Organic Butter to the dairy section (reduced fat milk from Otway Pastures has also been added).

The butter is “made using organic cream from cows grazing in lush green pastures,  Marlo Organic Salted Butter is the great all rounder.  Perfect with fresh bread and baked treats.”

Have a great week!

The Australian chestnut season has started!

Chestnuts are grown in areas that are hot in summer and cold in winter and preferably 800 metres plus above sea level. 75% of Australian chestnuts are produced in North East Victoria around the townships of Beechworth, Stanley, Bright, Mt Beauty, Wandiligong and Myrtleford.

To cook chestnuts, first score the outer shell with an “X” to prevent them from exploding. Then roast them in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 30-45 minutes until the skins pull back and the nuts are tender, allowing them to cool slightly before peeling.

There are plenty of YouTube videos explaining how to cook them.

Have a great week!

Cheers,

Blueberries are still over $100 for a tray of 12, so they are not available on the website at the moment.

We do however have Blueberry Muffins from Noisette Bakery along with a number of other pastries.

Green grapes have finished, the Red seedless variety are still available.

Have a great week!

Cheers,

Michael
