WINTER MARKET UPDATE
25 June 2026
The warm start to Winter has brought on crops early. I'm worried there may be gaps in supply moving forward, as the temperatures drop.
BORLOTTI BEANS
Look like this week is good. There seems to be good supply in the Market.
GREEN TOMATOES
Quite a few this week so get your pickling caps on.
CELERIAC
A Winter legend. What I’ve seen is very good but best to order Mon-Fri.
CAULIFLOWER
Some very good growers have started to send great quality to Market. I’m expecting prices to drop too.
CUMQUATS
The local season is in so quality and price is better.

Impact of Fuel & Fertiliser Shortages on Fresh Produce Prices
We have seen produce prices increasing and this will continue with the ongoing uncertainty of when the conflict in the Middle East will end. Farmers are grappling with the viability of planting crops due to the fuel and fertiliser shortages. These media articles provide deeper insight into the crisis:
