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.   Lots of produce from Victoria now has made the prices rise a bit due to high freight costs, the upside is an improvement in quality.  The Granite Belt should start in a couple of weeks.
