Vegetables are in excellent quality due to blue skies and fine weather. North Queensland produce in starting to increase. Tomatoes will increase in volume along with capsicums over the coming weeks.
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.
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.
