Early Market Update — I’m Off to Farmers2Founders Bootcamp!

We’re sending this out a day early because I’ll be away Wednesday and Thursday at a Farmers2Founders bootcamp — an Australian program that supports food and agriculture start-ups (like Jointly!) to grow, innovate, and scale sustainably.

It’s been incredibly helpful already, and I’m excited to learn more this week as we continue building Jointly for the long term.

Now, onto the good stuff — this week’s produce!

🍊 Mandarins Are Finished — But Stonefruit Has Arrived!

Sad to say Mandarins are now finished for the season.
But the good news: stonefruit is rolling in nicely!

• Yellow Nectarines — $1.10 ea

• Peaches — $1.18 ea

• Apricots — 70¢ ea

• Plums — coming soon!

The early fruit is looking good, with flavour improving each week as we head into warmer weather.

Hand-Picked Beans Are Back!

Hand-picked beans are returning — great quality, great flavour.
But they’re much more expensive this season and we need to buy well above our required quantities to get them.

• Hand-picked beans — $2.55 / 100g

• We can get machine-cut beans for roughly half the price.

👉 Let us know your preference — hand-picked (premium) vs machine-cut (budget-friendly).

🫐 Berry Specials

• Blackberries — down to $2.55 ea
  At that price, they should be beautifully ripe and ready to eat.

• Blueberries — still $5.10 ea but 170g (a 45g bonus over standard 125g!).

Great value all round.

🫑 Red Capsicums — Ouch!

Red Caps are in extremely short supply Australia-wide right now.
QLD has finished, SA can’t keep up with demand, and prices have jumped:

• Red Capsicums — $4.86 ea

We’ll keep an eye on this and pass on the better prices the minute they come down.

🥦 Veggie Notes

• Asparagus — down slightly to $2.25 ea

• Fennel — back this week at $3.40 ea
  (There was literally none available last week — no suppliers had any.)

• Small adjustments elsewhere — mostly minor ups and downs.

💚 Thank You for Supporting Local

Your weekly orders help keep local growers, makers, and community partners thriving across the Peninsula first, then Victoria and Australia.
Thanks for understanding the early update this week — I’ll be back Friday fresh from bootcamp and ready to deliver the best local produce we can find.

👉 Orders close Wednesday 9 pm for Friday pick-up (3–5:30 pm)

💚 Jointly Nourish Update

Our friends at CCI Rosebud have temporarily closed their pantry for the rest of the year to complete a deep clean and renovation. While that continues, we’ve seen an incredible uptake from both Mt Martha Pantry and Somerville — they took the lot this week!

It’s exciting to see more families choosing fresh fruit and veggies — healthy really is catching on, and that’s great news for everyone involved.

If you know of anyone in your Hub community who’s doing it tough or could use a hand, please let us know. We’re always happy to have part of our 5 % giving allocation directed locally through you.

Thanks to your continued support, we were able to share $376 worth of fresh produce (at cost) with local organisations doing amazing work — including $135 donated directly by our Jointly community. 🙌

Here’s where the produce went this week:

• CCI Back on Track

• Mt Martha Hub

• Somerville families in need via the Somerville hub (St Andrews Anglican Church)

  
  

Each box is more than just food — it’s a reminder that our community is stronger when we look after one another.

Thank you for making Nourish possible 💛
