This Week's Market Update

Another week, another update — and some nice movement across the market again.

What's looking good this week:

(the grapes are delicious by the way — crunchy and full of flavour)

• Pears are up this week

• Capsicums have settled and are back to where they should be price-wise

• Lemons and Limes have been added this week — perfect timing

• Valencia Oranges are now in full swing

• Stone fruits are all eating beautifully right now

🌱 Local Highlights (Super Local Shout-Outs)

We love being able to highlight just how much of your food is coming from close to home this week:

• Apples — Red Hill 🍎
Super fresh, great value, and beautifully crisp

• Strawberries — Red Hill 🍓
Excellent value right now — reminder that the 500g punnets are the highest quality pack

• Avocados — Red Hill 🥑
Super local — we're aiming to get them a touch riper this week after last week's greener batch

• Cherries — Local 🍒
Last week for cherries, so get in and savour them while you can

🥩 Beef Update
We're still working through the best beef options and would really value your feedback as we finalise what this could look like.

As always, thanks for supporting local growers and seasonal eating 💚
We'll keep sourcing the best quality available and sharing updates as the market moves.

🥩 Why Provenir? (Our Values Match)

As part of our upcoming meat trial, we're exploring working with Provenir, an Australian producer focused on ethical, transparent meat production.

Provenir's approach prioritises:

• On-farm processing to reduce animal stress and unnecessary transport
• 100% grass-fed Victorian beef
• Full traceability from paddock to pack
• High animal welfare standards
• Vacuum-sealed, food-safe packaging suitable for careful handling and distribution

This aligns strongly with our values around transparency, ethics, and respect for the food system, which is why we're exploring Provenir for a small trial.

We'll share more details about the meat packs next week. Here are some possible sample packs we want your feedback on.

💚 Jointly Nourish Update

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 $292 worth of fresh produce (at cost) with local organisations doing amazing work — including $75 donated directly by our Jointly community. 🙌

Here's where the produce went this week:

• Mornington Support Centre got 100% of giving this week.

  
  

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 💛
