Produce Updates
October 26 (2016)
Of Interest:
Not a lot of change this week to supply with the Granite Belt and Victoria ready to increase in production but cold nights (4-10) are slowing down growth.
Mango supply is increasing and quality is getting better along with other stone fruit. We can expect a bad cherry season however, with most districts wiped out with rain, only 20-40% of crops harvested.
A little hic up with our website launch last week, but this week is the week, keep your eye out on Facebook and Instagram.
