FRUIT & VEGIES

The season’s march It’s the time of the year to get into warming soups, slow cooked meals and earthy grounding vegetables and grains. Greens are plentiful: stock up on silverbeet and bok choy, vibrant carrots, delicate leeks, silverbeet, beetroots and potatoes. We’ve said goodbye to summer’s stone fruits and welcomed back apples. Pears and rhubarb are right in season too.

Organic Gertrude has also started to receive some vegetables – mostly our greens and carrots (as well as our bacon and ham) directly from Fernleigh farm.

The advantage of dealing direct with growers is the food reaches you sooner. It’s that extra bit fresher.
