A local olive oil, at last

Talking of local farmers, we now have a local olive oil thanks to Little Pier in Tuerong. It's certified organic and grown right here on the Peninsula: $35.00 for a 500ml bottle. Very exciting.

Stone fruit

Stone fruit prices are starting to come down.

On the yellow nectarines, we've corrected how many come in a box: it was well over what it actually is, and the price rose slightly at the same time. They're 98c each this week, kept down while we hope the price eases next week.

We're watching the white nectarines and the peaches (yellow and white) and will put them on once the prices are reasonable and the fruit is good. Cherries are growing now, and we'll most likely see them in December, depending on the weather.

Rain and not much sun

The recent rain and lack of sun are slowing growth, so local supply is down and prices are up, the usual rise and fall:

Broccoli — $3.99 each

Iceberg lettuce — $4.98 each

Green capsicum — $2.96 each

Chatting to the farmers about what they have to deal with is quite something: ducks eating their seedlings, rain rotting the base of their cabbages, grubs eating the roots. It is a tough game. I appreciate our produce so much more knowing the work our farmers put into getting fresh fruit and veggies to the table, and I love that we can bring it to you quickly, not spoiled by cold storage and long logistics. Help us keep supporting the local farmers.

This week's picks

Coming down this week.

Red capsicum — $3.10 each. South Australian last week, such a nice capsicum, and prices are easing as they move into the season.

Red Hill strawberries — $5.27 a 250g punnet, $9.88 for 500g

Sweet potato (kumera) — $5.50 a 1kg bag

Cherry tomatoes — $3.95 a 250g punnet

Pineapple — $8.88 each

Turmeric root — $3.17 per 100g

The new website

Thanks to the testers looking at the new test site. We're getting close to seeing some of the changes come through. If you'd like to test it, reply to the SMS or email hello@jointly.shop. We'd love more people to try the site and the recipes, or add your own.

Jointly Nourish

Together we shared $759 of fresh produce with our community last week: boxes to our Somerville, Selby, Hastings and Frankston hubs, and the balance to MPCSC (the Mornington Peninsula Community Support Centre).
