Summer stone fruit is not too far away, quality is still a few weeks from being at its best and the prices are high at the moment.  Apples and Pears are light in supply and prices are firm.  Avocadoes are short in supply and prices are firming.  Herbs are improving in quality and pricing.    Strawberries have hit a low in the market due to the contamination scare.  Our supplier has installed metal detectors to ensure safety to our customers but we would encourage everyone to cut up strawberries until the issue is resolved.

Warm weather will continue to make crops grow a bit faster and most vegetables are in good supply.  Sweet potatoes and lettuces are a bit light.

We are determined to reduce our impact on the environment and you will see a decrease in plastic wrap and bags used to pack your fruit and veggies, some herbs will be packed in bags together, so keep an eye out.  If you wish to receive your produce without plastic produce bags please let us know when you order each time so we can ensure this happens everytime.

Please ensure that at the beginning of the week you get your orders in for specialty produce, as we can’t guarantee supply later in the week.
