[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Of Interest:

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.  Avocados are very light as the WA season comes to an end and the NZ season is settling in.  The new season for NQ is not far away.  Light supply means high prices which will stay for a few more weeks unfortunately.  Stone Fruit is still around and beautiful quality and prices well.
