Wet weather has affected the harvest of root vegetables, so we can expect prices of vegies such as sweet potatoes to increase. Zucchini’s are good buying at the moment, as are herbs like parsley, thyme and coriander.
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.
