The new season for Apples is still a few weeks away! The very hot conditions are causing some problem for the soft leaf vegetables, herbs, salad leaf and tomatoes for the next couple of weeks.

Edible Flowers are beautiful at the moment, put your orders in early for the Xmas week to ensure supply. Also your cherry orders need to be in early for next week to ensure we have enough supply, they are magnificent at the moment.

With Christmas just around the corner the quality of Stone Fruit has increased. The demand on melon types with the heat moving to the southern states has meant an increase in demand

Supply of Cherries, peaches, nectarines and grapes will increase next week, quality will get better as will the prices. There is an abundance of fresh produce with exceptional quality.

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.

Fine weather forecast means quality will improve and supply will increase. Stanthorpe produce will start to hit the market soon and Lockyer Valley will finish. Fruit supply will increase rapidly in the coming weeks…

Bad weather in South Australia has caused major shortages of potatoes and the recent power failure shut down all hot houses with total losses for continental cucumbers and capsicum and some strawberries.

Not a lot of change this week. Lockyer Valley produce is almost at the end. Granite Belt and Victorian produce to start in a couple of weeks. Market will experience some ups and downs until then.

Overall the market is looking good with the Spring weather, with some rain around in the southern states and a small amount in Qld some lines are weather affected eg; salad leaf, potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce and herbs.
