Lemons Produce Update
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Of Interest:

The continuation of our beautiful weather means the continuing supply of most fruit and vegetables is plentiful with excellent quality.  However the grape season is coming to an end and supply is light as is the same for limes and lemons.  Mangoes are still a few weeks away, early season fruit is hitting the market but the prices are high and the fruit is not sweet enough.  Cauliflower and Zucchini are a bit light in supply but all quality is fantastic due to this amazing winter weather we are having.

Red chillies are still in very short supply and expensive.
