Lemons Are extremely short suppy at the moment. Normally there are two local suppliers from Yarra Valley and Gippsland supplying Victoria over summer, unfortunately they’ve lost most of their season earlier because of a storm. In conjunction with this USA stock is currently being held at customs. There is no indication of when the short supply will be eased. We would recommend substituting with Limes when possible. |

Apples All varieties of Apples are coming to an end with limited fruit around the market. Blood Oranges Are now finished for the year. Local Celeriac has gone to seed and has finished for the season. Are experiencing a big gap in between seasons, this will last for a few weeks until Swan Hill fruit starts in the coming weeks. Have been affected by both the heat and limited pickers available. This is the first crop that we are seeing issues with due to limitied pickers. Are now finished for a few weeks and there is limited South Australian stock around forcing prices to rise. |

Apricots This week’s top pick is the delicious Apricot from Victoria and South Australia. This bright, juicy, fragrant fruit can be enjoyed on its own or used in savory dishes or dessert. Choose Apricots that are firm but not hard. Allow them to ripen at room temperature; however, once ripe store them in the refrigerator. |
