Market Update

Morning All

AUSTRALIA DAY – this year it falls on a Monday, and the markets will be closed, we’ll be working as normal on Tuesday 27th but some deliveries will be affected (particularly those stores who have order packed on Mondays) please contact Wes if you’re unsure of your delivery schedule for these couple of days.

Pears – we had our first delivery today of new season Precose Pears, we will use these for a week until new season Bartlett start.

Watermelon – local swan valley and southwest have really kicked in, prices have dropped, contact wes for some Bin specials 🙂

Mandarins – today we had the first consignment of USA Mandarins, these are a seedless variety but will cost $13/kg (9kg boxes) full boxes only.

Celery – some growers (Canzirri) have lost a heap of their crops from heat, prices on celery across the board have spiked.

Lettuce – Summich is back picking, we can now swap back to 10 count lettuce, yes, I was well aware of small hearts recently but sometimes things are out of our control.

Onions – Local Brown Onions have Started so quality is superb!!

Brussel Sprouts – will now be from SA and are up in price.

Asparagus – will be up sharply in price and could be unavailable, extreme heat in Victoria has caused this.

We are on cyclone watch for far north Queensland – Bananas & Sweet Potatoes amongst other things could well be affected.
