This Week’s Market Update — Seasonal Shifts, Great Value & Local Gifts
Another week, another Market Update! There’s a lot happening across fruit, veg, and local goodies this week, with some easing prices, a few tight market items, and something special we’ve put together for gifting.
🥔 Potatoes & Veggies — Some Relief, Some Pressure
We’re seeing a bit of easing in parts of the market this week:
Red Desire Potatoes — $5.67/kg
Brushed Potatoes — down to $4.53/kg
Cauliflower — down to $5 ea
Iceberg Lettuce — still great value at $2.30 ea
All Beetroot — straight from Somerville this week, beautifully fresh
A couple of items remain under pressure:
🥑 Avocados — Extra Care This Week
Avocados took a lot of sorting to get the good ones this week. They are currently very expensive at the market (around double the usual price), but we know how much everyone loves them, so we’re sticking with them.
We’ll continue to quality control heavily — and where we can, we’ll even add a bonus avocado just to be sure you’re happy with what you receive. Thanks for your patience while the market settles.
🍓 Fruit & Berries
Blackberries are hard to find this week — I’ll search the market, and if they’re unavailable we’ll replace with Blueberries (same price).
Delgrosso’s now have a large premium Cherry Punnet available @ $15ea
Blueberries remain the same price and good quality.
Mangoes are up slightly but still eating well.
Stonefruit (peaches, nectarines, apricots) is tasting excellent and better value again this week — definitely worth adding.
🍊 Citrus Update
A natural seasonal handover as we move through winter citrus.
🍉 Great Value & Kids’ Snacks
Watermelon — $16.15 ea (over $25 at the supermarkets!)
Sugar Snaps — $2.20 / 100g
Lebanese Cucumbers — $1.13 ea
Fresh Baby Qukes — $3.40 per punnet
All crunchy, refreshing, and perfect for lunchboxes or after-school snacks.
🍏 Eddies Organic Drinks — Excellent Value
Eddies Organic 6-packs — $26 ea
(That’s $4.33 per bottle — they’re $7.50 just down the road!)
Delicious, refreshing, and now available in low-carb / low-sugar options at the same price.
🎁 NEW: Mornington Peninsula Hamper — $50
We’ve put together a small Mornington Peninsula Hamper this week — perfect as a gift or a treat for yourself.
