IN FRUIT: The berry feast continues unabated. Raspberries have started to ease back at last but the main focus continues to be strawberries and blueberries. With strawberries, there is sadly less emphasis on taste and more on yield in the industry...
August 05 2020
IN FRUIT: Blood oranges from the Riverina region in south western NSW are really great eating this week. A relatively short season, blood oranges have that distinctive berry/citrus taste that make the fruit so unique and sought after. Limes are ex...
July 29 2020
IN FRUIT: In winter with no local stone fruit, berries and citrus continue to be the focus for HFM. Raspberries are in short supply but there are enough blueberries and strawberries. However, big wet weather events are interrupting supplies here a...
July 22 2020
IN FRUIT: There’s not a great deal of variety in the markets this week in fruit. Given the issues with the apple crops this season, that’s to be expected. Queensland strawbs are great quality, albeit with some supply disruptions due to rain and co...
July 15 2020
IN FRUIT: It’s a fantastic time for blueberries and strawberries this week. A little too much rain a few days ago was affecting quality but this appears to have passed and I think the coming weeks will have very well priced superb berries availa...
July 08 2020
IN FRUIT: Bananas are plentiful and cheap and eating very well. They do look dull in colour; the extreme cold in QLD at this stage causes that undesirable appearance but doesn’t affect the taste. All citrus is excellent quality and very good value...
June 30 2020
IN FRUIT: Still loads of citrus from down south but next we have some wonderful fruit from Queensland. Bananas, topless pineapples, rockmelons and papaya are all superb eating and well riced this week. Imperfect pears and nets of passionfruit all ...
June 24 2020
IN FRUIT: Bananas have started to ease in price and arrivals indicate the price should ease next week. Rockmelons, especially medium sized fruit, are eating well and are far cheaper than they have been. All berries are the really good news. It’s v...
June 17 2020

June 10 2020
IN FRUIT: Really not much to talk about with either fruit or veg this week. In fruit, navel oranges, grapefruit and pears, especially Imperfect Packham’s remain good value. As discussed elsewhere in this blog, the little Imperfect mandarins we ar...
June 03 2020
IN FRUIT: Really very little news on the fruit front. Apples continue to be difficult post the bushfire season which is when they would normally bloom. Most of the citrus is plentiful and good eating. However, Imperial mandarins are a little dear...
May 27 2020
IN FRUIT: Navel oranges are getting sweeter and better eating every week. At our place, I squeeze a fresh juice every day and blend that with half a ruby grapefruit; it’s a great start to the day. Pink Lady apples are hitting their straps now, th...

May 13 2020
IN FRUIT: The fruit I am enjoying most this week is Kiwi Gold. They definitely don’t keep as well as their green counterparts but they are just a delicious fruit and fill a gap for us as stone fruit season comes to a total halt. Avocados continue...
May 06 2020
IN FRUIT: For something a little different this week, I would recommend gold Kiwi fruit. They are now from New Zealand, not cheap but not dear either and just so good to eat. There are lots of limes available as well. Strictly speaking, that’s no...
April 29 2020
IN FRUIT: It's May this week and May is when we look for Queensland Imperial mandarins. This year does not look to be a great year for this variety of mandarins, there is a lot of dry fruit on the market. Some brands are better than others, but i...
April 22 2020
IN FRUIT: Bananas are the big news in fruit this week; we are going into a period of high supply for the next few weeks, which means cheap prices on bananas going forward for a while… we need those kids back to school to eat them all! Red grapes ...
April 15 2020
IN FRUIT: Again this week, grapes, apples and pears are all very good value; only pink ladies are still old season. Kanzi apples would be my choice of apples this week. There are still some good plums available and I think the flavourfalls are th...
April 08 2020

March 25 2020

March 18 2020
IN FRUIT:The fruit situation is difficult but nowhere near the problem that vegetables are. The cancellation of many export orders, particularly grapes, has helped here. All grapes are top quality, well priced and at their best this week. Limes r...
March 11 2020
Figs are probably my favourite fruit. The most common variety is the Black Genoa and that is what we are selling right now. Other varieties come a little later in the season. From mid December to mid January, we have the Breba or some call it Brev...
March 11 2020
IN FRUIT:It is very hard to go past figs as the fruit of the week; top quality, inexpensive and delicious. Personally I prefer the loose figs to the punnets, you do need to handle these loose figs extra carefully to avoid bruising and spoilage, h...
March 04 2020
