WINTER MARKET UPDATE

9 June 2026

FIRST WEEK OF WINTER!

Sydney has seen some cooler days in Winter’s first week but there still seems to be some warmth in the air at times. It does seem like the warmer seasons are lengthening in duration.

LOCALLY GROWN VEGETABLES

A highlight this week is Italian Verdure! The winter greens are just sensational at the moment and we are only at the beginning of the season.

LOCAL BROCCOLI

Time for Pasta with Broccoli! Cook the leaves and all. Flavour is sweeter & earthier compared to regular Broccoli and Broccolini.

CIME DI RAPA

Very much in season now with the small broccoli rabe floret amongst the leaves. Owned by Puglia but shared worldwide. A truly beautiful & versatile Italian green.

POBLANO PEPPERS

Worth pointing out as something different….not sure how long they are in season for though.

GREEN BEANS

Coming from the Gympie area in South-east Queensland. Quality at present is outstanding - long, beautiful, silky hand-picked beans are a must.

“THE BASICS” BOX

$75 or $100 Fruit & Veg

$75 Fruit only

Exactly what it sounds like! A good basic mix to take the time out of ordering and to get you through the week.

DAISY MANDARINS

Last week my pick was Imperials. This week the low-seed Daisies are supreme! Imperials are a bit scarce this week.
