Navels out, Valencias in

This is possibly the last week of the Navels, and the Valencias are now in season at $1.28 each. Juicing Navels (seconds) are 65c while they last.

Stone fruit is just starting to come in and will be in full swing soon.

The genuine thing

When you order with us, you are supporting local farms and suppliers through a local business that gives to locals in need. We are not pretending to be a community-run business that just buys straight from the market through a veggie box business. We are the genuine thing, and we are transparent about it.

A big thank you to everyone who is making a difference.

A small price increase

You will notice a very small increase this week to cover extra costs we couldn't avoid, and there may be another small one to come. We are super tight on margin at Jointly, always trying to make this work for everyone.

From the market

KP mangoes — the NT season is short. $5.98 each or $15.00 for a 3-pack. I'll check at the market in the morning and let you know next week.

Limes — seconds this week: a few marks, but the same limes on the inside. $5.85 a 5-pack.

Berries — crunchy and full of flavour. Blackberries are down to $6.00 a 125g punnet, blueberries $4.91.

Mandarins — our usual suppliers have no more. I will search the market for other varieties this week. There is a chance we will not have any, but most likely I'll find some.

Snacking carrots are out. The grower has only been able to supply them for the last few weeks.

The new website: testers

The meat closing on Monday and everything else on Wednesday was the winner in the poll, and the new website will have this built in.

I will send an invite out to those who wanted to try the new site. The test site is fully working, but you do not actually buy anything: it runs on test data and test cards, so nothing is charged. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
