Just a reminder that we are delivering this week, but a day later than usual due to the Easter Monday Holiday.

So if you usually get a Tuesday delivery, it will be Wednesday, usual Wednesday will be Thursday and so on.

Usual Friday delivery will remain on Friday.

This will be the case the following week as well due to the Anzac Day Holiday falling on a Monday.

Regarding fruit and veggies, New season Kanzi apples are now available. Very crunchy indeed!

Hope you are having a great Easter break!

Cheers,

Michael

 

We are delivering this coming week, usual Friday deliveries will be delivered on Thursday 14th April, instead of Good Friday.

The following two weeks are also short weeks because of Easter Monday and Anzac Day. Delivery days will be pushed back a day during those weeks. Eg Usual Tuesday delivery will be Wednesday, usual Wednesday will be Thursday, and usual Thursday will be Friday. Regular Friday deliveries will remain on a Friday.

So, a bit of juggling the next few weeks, if you manage to get away for a holiday, enjoy your time away.

Mandarins were a great success last week, hoping to have new season Navel oranges soon (probably still a few weeks away).

Cheers,

Michael

 

 

 

Australian grown Afourer Mandarins are available this week, as are new season Fuji apples.

The mandarins are sweet, juicy and don’t have any pips.

The easy to peel Imperial variety is still a few weeks away.

Nectarines and Plums have finished, but the red and green grapes will continue for a little while longer.

Best of the other fruits are locally grown Packham pears and bananas.

Australian grown navel oranges should start by the end of this month.

Next week is the last week of school term, so deliveries as usual.

We will be delivering both weeks of the school holidays.

Thanks again for your continued support, we have had a very successful relaunch and hope to continue our service for many years to come.

Cheers,

Michael

 

At Micky Booth, we all acknowledge that our driver Geoff is easily the “World’s Greatest Delivery Driver”! (he’s the one on the left).

Now, he is also the fittest, or the sorest delivery driver.

Over the weekend he completed the 100km Oxfam Trailwalker from Endeavour Hills to Heidelberg in just over 20 hours.

Currently, all Micky Booth deliveries are delivered by Geoff, and his very broad shoulders.

This is a timely reminder that Micky Booth is a very small family business, that has been competing against much bigger players for nearly three decades (this is our 30th year!).

Well done Geoff, what a great effort.

Hoping you can see the value in supporting a business such as ours.

Cheers,

Michael

 

 

 

After a longer than expected break, I’m back and raring to go!

I’ve made a number of changes that I hope will make the business more robust and able to cope with the challenges that small businesses face into the future.

Staffing, supply chain issues, fuel costs and compliance are just some of the challenges ahead.

Regarding fruit, Royal Gala apples and Packham pears are both new season. Pink Lady apples and Granny Smith are available, but the new season are still a month or so away. Grapes are good, as are the plums. No local Kiwi Fruit yet but shouldn’t be far away.

Veggies are dear at the moment, always are at this time of the year as the Victorian season is ending, and we are crossing over to growing areas in the north. Hopefully the floods don’t have too much of an impact.

Thanks for your continued support and patience over the last five months.

Cheers,

Michael

 

There will be no deliveries week beginning Monday 18th October 2021.

Deliveries will resume the following week, so just one week off.

Cheers,

Michael

 

We offer three different corn chip varieties: Original (Plain), Tasty Cheese & Zesty Lime.

We also sell a Mild Salsa to go with them.

Had a supply issue with the Mini Roma tomatoes again late last week, so had to substitute with Cherry Toms again.

Corn is in short supply again, so none this week.

Believe it or not, stone fruit shouldn’t be too far away.

Just a short one this week, hope your team wins.

Cheers,

Michael

Baby “Love Beets” are pre-cooked, so all you have to do is add them to your favourite salad, or eat them as a snack on their own.

We have plenty of herbs to add to salads or to cook with: Chives, dill, mint, coriander, basil, thyme Vietnamese mint are all readily available at the moment.

Alfalfa, crunchy combo, mung beans, and of course avocado can be added to your salad.

Have a good week,

Cheers,

Michael

 

More than ninety percent of Australian grown asparagus come from the Koo Wee Rup area in West Gippsland or from the Mildura area in North Western Victoria.

They started harvesting in Koo Wee Rup a few of weeks ago, and this coming week is the first time we will be offering them for sale.

Tangelos are also on offer this week. They have a tang to them, a bit like a cross between a mandarin and a ruby grapefruit.

Have a good week.

Cheers,

Michael
