Lots easing this week โ cucumbers, eggplant, capsicums, broccoli and the citrus (navels, blood oranges, mandarins) are all coming down, with a new almost-seedless mandarin joining the range. A few lines have crept up with winter, plus a big beef & lamb update, a mushroom heads-up, and $816 to Nourish. ๐

Beef & Lamb โ where we're at
Real progress after a rough run: our butcher is now confirmed. ๐ We're just waiting on the farm to lock in the lambs.
It's looking like supply in the first half of September โ the meat needs to hang for a week to be at its best, so once the farm confirms we'll firm up the exact dates and let you know.
๐ Pledge this week to be counted in the order. Your orders this week are what we use to lock in how many carcasses to bring in โ after that we'll keep selling until we're 100% sold out, so getting in now is the surest way to secure yours.
How the pre-order works: you pledge โ we hit the target โ 50% deposit โ balance before delivery. No threshold, no charge.

A quick honest word ๐
Last week's strawberries were only average โ and honestly, we missed it. They went out, a few of you told us (fair call), and I've refunded every punnet. We're putting tighter quality control on the berries this week so it doesn't happen again.
The baby qukes were also out of stock โ we grabbed some loose ones only to find they weren't so baby after all.
I'll be walking the market floor first thing tomorrow to hand-pick properly. We'd rather tell you straight than send you second-best. ๐
