For the next few weeks we’re hoping to have some supply of feijoas – this fragrant, soft fruit is a favourite of New Zealanders and has a truly unique flavour. It also makes great jam – and even wine. Our semi-commercial grower in the north of the state is unlikely to be able to supply this year, but we’ve found a local home-grower with a pretty prolific tree in the south! They’re available in 1kg lots if you’d like to just try some, or in 4kg trays. Our own home-grown figs have slowed down a bit with the weather but we’re still picking limited amounts; we’ve also got some home-grown walnuts available, along with the excellent Coaldale Walnuts product which will be available for quite a few months – both at the same great price of $9.5/kg.
Our potato grower John is digging all his spuds for the winter and as a result we have an enormous range of potatoes available – if you’d like to know more about any of these please let me know. New-season swede are also available from Mt Lloyd – Kylie waits til winter to dig these so they’re super-sweet and a great size too.
We anticipate that we may have some other lines available this week but haven’t confirmed these yet – these will be emailed out when they’re confirmed. If there’s something you’re after that’s not on the list let us know and we’ll see what we can do for you!
