G’day or kiorra as it is said over here, So the weather im told hasn’t been all that good back in aus. So the same things will still be in short supply, get in early and grab the best produce before it disappears . This seemed to be an australia wide issue talking to a few farmers and wholesalers before i left but since coming to NZ i have seen and heard that alot of farmers, especially small farmers, are in the same boat. So please come out and support us and all farmers through this slow period so that they can continue to produce top quality food for you.

G’day everyone.
What a week, we have had our fair share of rain, Leafy greens are still in short supply and will be until the weather pick up. New this week are Emperor Mandarins, these are as fresh as you’ll get anywhere. We also still have Myer lemons which are great for cooking because it lacks the intense tartness present in most lemons. Kiwi fruit is also still in abundance and only 30 cents each. I will not be a taylor square sustainable growers market this week or next week as i am going i was selected to go to New Zealand with Ausveg for a farm tour, Greg will be running the stall instead. Hope you all come to see us at either Taylor square sustainable growers market or Everligh growers market this weekend.

Hi everyone my name is Lee and im a grower with Champion Mountain Organics and i will be writing a blog each friday to let you know briefly whats happening on the farm.
This week things are still going slow with the undesirable weather we have had since easter, this is the last week for the Washington navel oranges at Taylor Square Sustainable Growers Market, These little beauty’s were the first of the navel variety’s but next week a new sweeter variety will be in.
Baby English Spinach is low this week but will hopefully be more next week. See you at the market.
