Fresh Now
Succulent plump Strawberries are in full bloom, so don’t miss out.    Sunrise Strawberries, have delicious strawberries.    They grow their strawberries locally on their farms. Select firm fruit with undamaged skin.

And really good news – after being injured in a fall Fresh Berries Direct will be back at the market this Saturday with their succulent fruits.

Winter is a great time to enjoy Pumpkin, whether in soups, salads or baked.   It has a vibrant orange flesh and is full-flavoured.

All our fresh produce stallholders are now stocking all their fabulous winter vegetables. Fabulous firm, white Cauliflower is used in lots of Indian recipes and is delicious crumbed and lightly fried.  They are flying off our farmers’ tables at present.

Beans are crisp and firm.

You can make a meal memorable with Mushrooms, like the mushroom soup in the above picture.   Add sliced mushrooms to pizza toppings, risotto and pasta sauce, or grill or barbecue the fleshy jumbo flats.   Remember, the larger the mushroom the more intense the flavour.

Good News!   We’ve already advised you that Ardeze, our local avocado growers, are back and doing a roaring trade. The local Avocado season finishes at Christmas and starts again just before Mother’s Day and we’re really pleased to have Ardeze adorning the market again.

As one of nature’s simple pleasures, Avocados contain ‘good’ unsaturated fat and are the richest source of vitamin E.  Toss sliced avocado with lime juice, chopped coriander, salt and pepper to accompany barbecued Prawns from Jakob, Mingara Seafoods.

Crunch into new season Royal Gala, Jonathan, Pink Lady, Fuji, Sweet Russet and Red Delicious Apples.   Granny Smith Apples make the best cookers but are also delicious, especially eaten with cheese!   All from Iventure who grow their apples on their farms in the Stanthorpe region which is the heartbeat of the apple industry in Queensland.
