The change of seasons has brought a few shifts in what’s coming out of the farms. I cut up the last of this season’s pumpkin this morning (sad face), and the carrots have finished until January.

But there are some lovely new things to enjoy - the large boxes have sweet ‘Angel’ cherry tomatoes, and we’re welcoming back York Town Organics with their beautiful micro salad. It’s perfect as a garnish, or piled onto a cracker with hommus and pickled walnut for a quick snack.

A fresh mix of late‑season treats and early spring surprises. Enjoy. 🌿

A huge thanks to the wonderful BB team who kept everything running smoothly while I was up in Queensland soaking up some warmth. Sadly it wasn’t a BB junket to tropical fruit farms — just me supervising 40 teenagers in my 'other' job (so, absolutely not a holiday!).

This week’s boxes were the last for winter, and while early spring doesn’t bring a big produce shift, some of you may find a little surprise tucked inside next week’s vegie box.

This week’s Backyard Bounty boxes were packed with beautiful winter produce - crisp broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, tender Branchu du Poitou, peppery wild roquette, and colourful Ruby Lou potatoes. Everything is fresh, vibrant, and full of that cool‑weather sweetness our growers do so well.

Perfect for roasts, soups, sautés and all the cosy meals August calls for. Enjoy the goodness. 🌿🥔

We’ve had some beautifully still, sunny winter days lately. And honestly, the only thing better than eating soup by a warm open fire is sitting outside in the winter sun, rugged up with a steaming bowl in hand.

This week’s boxes brought White Eye potatoes and beautiful cauliflower — perfect for soups, stews and curries.

After a few weeks’ hiatus, the leafy greens from Hobbit Hort are back too: Tuscan kale and the gorgeous Branchu du Poitou, just in time for hearty winter cooking.

Don’t forget that orders for next week close at 10pm Sunday. Enjoy a cosy weekend of good food ahead.

Crisp winter goodness incoming in this week’s vegie boxes - the greens are snappy, the roots are sweet, and the Yukon Gem potatoes are shining as the ultimate all‑rounder for roasting, mashing or tossing into a hearty soup.

If you’re staring down your celeriac wondering what on earth to do with it, you’re not alone. Matt from Elphin Grove Farm handed me a stack of their celeriac recipe pamphlets when I visited earlier this week. I didn’t quite have enough for everyone, but if you find one tucked into your box, enjoy the inspiration.

Large boxes also include new‑season walnuts in shell - so much better this way, with that fresh, sweet flavour and all their natural vitamins and minerals intact. If you’d like extra, they’re available as an add‑on: $8 for 500g.

And it’s the last week of tomatoes 😢 Enjoy those final bursts of summer while they’re still here.
