Written by martins-produce | Posted on 05 February 2026

Morning All
Just a quick market update
Gala – we now have local New Season fruit, recommend these over old season Pinklady, 1kg Red Bagging apples will now be New Season Gala.
Strawberries – these have taken a hit with the heat, we are paying more $6+ and sticking with Stella fruit, these are a premium line that grower does a great job. There is a lot cheaper fruit around, but smaller and will breakdown, if you want cheap then please specify on your orders.
Grapes – although Dawn have been fine and great price, tomorrow the first delivery of Swan Valley Autumn Crisp will start, I will post a photo, fruit will cost $14+/kg. Also ready for Monday will be Cotton Candy Grapes 🙂
Festival Lettuce – Summich is back picking festival lettuce if you would like to try some.
Bitter melon – we have some local Bitter melon available if you would like to try some.
Mandarins – Egyptian mandarins have now started, slightly cheaper than the recent USA fruit, USA now finished.
Apricots – New Zealand fruit landed today in 5kg boxes, Local fruit is done.
Kiwi fruit – next arrival of imported kiwi fruit isn’t for 2 weeks, so unfortunately there will be a gap with no kiwi.
Have a great weekend everyone.
