I just wanted to let everyone know that our expansion plans to deliver Melbourne wide will not impact your Micky Booth experience.

We have systems in place that allow us to always prioritise our existing loyal customers, so if there is a spike in demand for our service Melbourne wide, we can limit the number of deliveries to those new areas, or transfer them onto our new delivery partner.

Our new delivery partner is a family owned business that specialises in the delivery of perishable food items. They deliver Melbourne wide on a daily basis, so all new deliveries outside the eastern suburbs will be delivered by them.

My staff will continue to pack the orders, and I will continue to purchase the produce from the small local growers that I’ve been supporting for the past twenty-eight years.

The home delivery sector of the economy is growing, the big players are making their move, with large investments in data analysis and robotics.

I’d rather invest in people, offer a personalised friendly service, and keep things small and manageable.

Expanding our delivery zone will ensure sure that the Micky Booth business will not just survive, but will be a viable alternative into the future.

Thanks again for your support, pass on the coupon code: METRO to anyone you might think would benefit from our service.

Cheers,

Michael

New season Imperial Mandarins will be available this week.

Other locally grown winter citrus will follow, hope to have new season Navel Oranges very soon. There are some in the market already, but they are still very “sharp” (not sweet enough yet). Another week or so on the tree, and they should be right to be picked.

More news to come very soon about our planned Melbourne wide delivery launch.

Have a good week,

Cheers,

Michael

 

 

 

We are taking an Easter break, so no deliveries between Tuesday 6th and Friday 9th April.

Back the following week as usual, then the week after that we are planning to start delivering Melbourne wide!

Much more information to come regarding this exciting new development.

Have a great Easter,

Cheers,

Michael

Happy New Year to all, may 2021 be a less challenging one than 2020.

We are back delivering this week, with big plans to increase our delivery area this year. More information to follow in the coming weeks.

I was in touch with my suppliers last week, there are plenty of seasonal fruits around, the best of which are: peaches, nectarines, plums, cantaloupe, pineapple, grapes and passion fruit.

There are no new season apples yet, so old season Pink Lady and Granny Smith are the only options. New season Royal Gala, shouldn’t be too far away (maybe three to four weeks). New season William Pears should be available the week after next.

Let’s hope this year is a good one.

Cheers,

Michael

 

 

Hi everyone,

Just a short note to wish you all a Happy New Year, and to remind you that deliveries for 2020 start week beginning Monday 27th January (Yes, that the Australia Day long weekend).

Until then, nothing else from me until just before the Australia Day long weekend.

Cheers,

Michael

 

Was very pleasant to have a quiet week at home to re-charge the batteries, back into deliveries this coming week.

I spoke to my suppliers a couple of days ago, not much change in the market since the last week before the schoool holidays. 

Still no sweet corn, but all other winter veggies are available.

As for fruit, the red seedless grapes are still going, although they mustn’t have long to go before they finish up.

Plenty of apples to choose from (4 varieties), and plenty of citrus also.

This week’s early bird coupon code for a 5% discount is: CC99

 

Have a great week,

 

Cheers, Michael

Hi everyone, just a reminder that we are not delivering next week due to the market being closed on Easter Monday and Anzac Day.

Back to normal the following week.

New season pink lady apples will be available the week we are back.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Cheers,

Michael

This week’s deliveries are the final ones for the year. As usual, we will be taking most of January off to recharge, in readiness for next year. We will be taking orders again on Monday 28th January 2019.

Many thanks to those who have stuck with us for many years, it is greatly appreciated.

A big thank you to those that have joined us throughout 2018, your support has helped Geoff Roberts (former Aussie Farmers franchisee) get back on his feet after losing his livelihood (and a lot of money) after they closed down.

Plenty of fresh fruits and veggies available this week, including cherries from Tatura (near Shepparton) which will be available in 500g tubs.

Have a save and happy festive season!

Cheers, Michael

A lot to report this week, beginning with our school holiday delivery schedule. Generally speaking, we always close down for the first week of the school holidays (State Schools), gives me a chance to re-charge the batteries. That being said, deliveries as usual this coming week, but no deliveries the following week (Tuesday 25th to Friday 28th September).

Local asparagus are now available from West Gippsland. This growing region accounts for 90% of Australian grown asparagus, so from now until the end of the year they will only get more plentiful and cheaper.

Brussels Sprouts are at the end of the season, so taking them off this week, as are the South Australian grown desiree potatoes (the pink/purple ones). If you ordered the desirees last week, you may notice that they are just about to sprout. Nothing wrong with the actual potato, just at the end of the season. Waiting for the Queensland desiree season to begin, which is a couple of weeks away.

If you are going away during the school holidays, enjoy your break!

Have a great week,

Cheers,

This week we are giving away Aussie Garlic for FREE.

It’s very close to the end of the season, and I’ve managed to secure 20kg of composite grade (no premium grade available) Australian grown garlic for a very good price.

Rather than explain to people that it is cheap because it’s doesn’t look as good, thought it would be easier to just give it away. Limit is 4 serves per customer (500 grams).

It’s either this garlic, or stuff shipped in from Mexico.

Have a great week,

Cheers,

Michael
