Hey, foodie! ✨
Hope you’re having a great weekend, spending time with people you love, and enjoying good, healthy food. We’ve got a whole mixed bag of stuff to share with you this week… so, let’s tuck in!
👩🌾 FROM THE FARMS 👨🌾
Farmer Mario and a few others copped a bit of a beating from the hail in the last couple of weeks… some trees down and a few crops lost. Stonefruit will be a little while yet, we’ve been told. We’re constantly reminded how much love, time, and pure luck go into getting food from seed to your plate. 🌱 So next time you bite into a juicy stonefruit or a crisp lettuce leaf, give a little nod of gratitude to our growers doing it tough out there.
Now, let’s talk about some very good fruit news... 🥭
🥭 I’TS MANGO TIME 🥭
They’re here, they’re juicy, and they’re ready to be eaten.
🥭 Organic Kensington Pride Mangoes – Lower Don Organics, Bowen
Sweet, fruity, floral and the most loved mango variety in Australia.
🥭 Organic R2E2 Mangoes – Steve Bartolo, Gympie
These big beauties are blushing red and taste like a tropical dream. A little milder in flavour but perfect for smoothies, salads or straight-up scoffing.
Our mangoes are a little pricier than supermarket ones, but there’s a good reason, we promise. Conventionally grown mangoes are sprayed with a number of harmful pesticides (including dimethoate). Organic mangoes take a lot of extra care to grow, especially in the hot months when pests run rampant, using natural, chemical-free methods to protect the fruit. 🌿
So you get sweeter, cleaner mangoes and support farmers who do it the right way. Prices will ease as the season continues — we’ll keep you posted! 🥭✨
🍊 Valencia Oranges – P & S Burkett
Juicy, sweet and totally spray-free. Perfect for juicing or throwing in a fruit salad to add some vitamin C to your daily diet. 🧡
🐖 Pork Regen Sausages – Belvedere Farm
Made with nothing but pork, salt, and herbs. How good’s that? No weird fillers or numbers you can’t pronounce. Just happy pigs and honest food from a farm where animal well-being comes first.
🛒 NEW GROCERIES ALERT 🛒
Cordial is a bit of an Aussie staple… but we’re not about the nasty additives they put in to make those bright, neon colours. Maria from Roar ain’t a fan either, so and she’s taken it upon herself to make cordial the right way.
We’ve got Raspberry Jam (crowd fave), Cool Mint, Plum Pudding, Wild Strawberry, Passion Power & Pineapple Paradise. 🍓🍍✨
These are cordials you can actually feel good about pouring for the kids.
🥛 Organic Times Goodies
From certified organic dairy farms, this stuff is a bit of a zero-waste hack. Perfect for baking, cooking, camping, or when you realise you’re out of milk again. It’s super creamy and is rich in calcium and protein. 🤤
Fluffy, dreamy, and made the old-school way. A hint of vanilla, no GMOs, no palm oil, no nasties. Perfect for hot choccies, s’mores or “taste testing” straight from the bag. ☁️😋
That’s a wrap on your weekly foodie news! Thanks for sticking with us through the crazy storms and dry weather. Every box you order helps us keep supporting local farmers to grow real food while feeding their own families, too. 🌿💪
