Mother’s Day = a good excuse for something a little special 😉

For the next 2 weeks, we’ve added Shepherd’s croissants + slices to Marketplace - not everyday staples, just sometimes treats worth sharing.

Because balance matters… and so does celebrating Mum 💛

MARKET UPDATE

Apples – Price vs Popularity
Pink Lady apples are still the most popular but also the most expensive.

We get it… kids love them. But why not try something different for yourself?

Golden Delicious = cheaper, full of flavour, softer European style. Not popular with shops (yellow doesn’t “pop”)… but that’s your win.

Pears – New Season Varieties
Corella pears are in this week.
Can eat crunchy
Even better when ripened
Store for ages

🍍 Tropical Fruits – Mixed Bag
Good value: bananas, papaya, passionfruit (~90c)
Avoid for now:
Pineapple
Melons (scarce for 3–4 weeks)
Watermelon hitting ~$4/kg in shops

Berries & Citrus
Berries still decent (blueberries improving), but not as cheap as last week

Citrus is the star right now:
✔ Grapefruit, lemons, limes
✔ Mandarins (~$5/kg, dropping by May)

Veg Watch – What’s Hot
✔ Avocados (Shepard & Hass) – great value
✔ Beans & corn – super cheap
✔ Xerri’s broccoli – improving + less than HALF price
✔ Lettuce, capsicum, cucumber, eggplant, zucchini – all cheap
✔ Leeks, pumpkin, fennel, brown onions – good buying

Veg to Avoid as prices high
Beetroot (all types)
Red onions
Rhubarb
(Seems reds are having a moment… not a good one)

Leafy Greens are Back
Great value again: Silverbeet, spinach, radish, coriander, parsley

Tomatoes are Good News
Snacking tomatoes still strong
Field & Roma tomatoes starting to come down in price

⛽ Fuel Watch
Too early to call — we’re taking it week by week. But… so far, so good.

Monday Market Update
A relatively quiet morning, with some welcome price relief for Iceberg lettuce (now under $3 each). Still Victorian, but Xerri will start in a few weeks’ time.

Another price drop: Josephine pears came in below budget and are now $2.82/kg. One of the most fragrant pears, worth a try.

Persimmons are back, albeit smaller fruit than usual.

Regular cherry and grape tomatoes are scarce, but there’s plenty of black and yellow cherry.

Also, Roma tomato supply from North Queensland is picking up - back on the Marketplace menu.

All-in-all, market prices are yet to fully price the effects of higher fuel prices 🤞🤞🤞

W2616 Market Update
Autumn is settling in, and the market is shifting… here’s what’s worth popping in your box (and what’s not ).

Apples & Pears: More Choice, Better Value
Apple season is opening up nicely. Kanzi apples are stepping in as a great-value alternative to Pink Lady, while Fuji, Royal Gala and Granny Smith are all improving in supply.
Pears are also having a moment with Red Sienna Pride is nearly done, but fragrant Josephines have arrived. And next week, we swap Williams out for Packhams.

Berries: A Bit of a Rollercoaster
After last week’s strawberry price shock (yep… double 😬), we’re cautiously optimistic. Prices should come down… but we’ll believe it when we see it.
Good news though: blackberries are looking great and raspberries are an absolute steal at around $3

Grapes: Pricier but Worth It
Supply is tightening, but the eating quality? Possibly the best we’ve seen. Sometimes you just pay for the good stuff.

Citrus: The Comeback Kid
Queensland citrus is ramping up, which means cheaper lemons, ruby grapefruit and Imperial mandarins (under $5/kg ).
Kiwi fruit is colourful green, gold and red — but still on the pricey side.

Melons: Not Their Time (Yet)
Give melons a miss for now. We’ll revisit once Queensland supply improves and prices drop.

Avocados: Bargain Alert
Shepards are still under $1 and now joined by late-season Hass from WA at $1.48.
Prefer that nutty Hass flavour? Worth the upgrade. Either way the April avo prices like this are rare.

Local Heroes
Manuel Xerri is keeping the corn coming (even while supplying the Royal Easter Show!).
Plus: whole broccoli from the Xerri family — leaves, stems, the lot — bigger, more nutritious, and now half the price by weight

One Week Wonders & New Greens
George Portelli is bringing:
• Small red cabbages for $2.40
• Baby bok choy (buk choi) fresh, tender and around $2 a bunch
Hello, easy stir-fries

Veg Watch
J*P pumpkins = great value
Tomatoes = still pricey ❌ (hang tight for Queensland supply in about a month)
BUT… yellow and black cherry tomatoes are looking good at around $3.50

Something Different
Chestnuts are back — perfect for roasting (check Marketplace for how-to )
And feeling adventurous? Try fresh olives! Cure them yourself and is so easy, no fancy gear, just a bit of patience.

In short:
Shop smart, follow the seasons, and let the market guide your box this week.
