Your guide to what’s IN SEASON now we are in February 🥑🍑🫐

We’re heading toward the tail end of summer, and the produce is showing off. Think juicy stone fruit, crisp local beans, and tomatoes that taste like they should.

Here’s what we’re loving right now ❤️

→ Tomatoes – cherry, truss, Roma & heirloom. Slice them, roast them, or just eat them standing over the sink.
→ Local Figs – sweet, jammy, and basically nature’s dessert.
→ Green Beans – perfect for crunchy salads or buttery side dishes.
→ Grapes – the snack you forgot you loved.
→ Zucchini, Capsicums & Eggplants – Mediterranean dreams in veggie form.
→ New season Apples – red, green, and ready for lunchboxes.
→ Reed Avocados – creamy, rich, and massive (seriously, they’re huge).
→ Garlic – your cooking’s best friend, now at its pungent peak.
→ Stone Fruit – plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines. Drip-down-your-arm good.
→ Berries & Currants – bright pops of flavour for breakfast and beyond.

This is the good stuff. The kind of produce that makes your meals shine and your fridge feel exciting.

Come stock up — we’ll help you pick the best of the bunch 💛🥕

It’s hot in Melbourne — like proper hot 🥵
The kind of heat that calls for watermelon. 🍉☀️

Watermelon is around 92% water, but here’s the part most people don’t know: the natural sugars activate sodium-glucose co-transporters in your gut, pulling water into the bloodstream faster than water alone. Add potassium, and you’re looking at efficient, cellular-level hydration, not just thirst relief. 🍉🔥

Our CERTIFIED ORGANIC watermelons are absolutely stunning right now. Smaller fruit, less water in the growing cycle, and that means one very good thing — sweeter melons with bigger flavour. More sugar, deeper colour, proper crunch.

No sprays. No shortcuts. Just sun, soil, and time doing what they do best.

Slice them fridge-cold. Eat them messily. Repeat as needed to survive the heat.

In store now at Paddlewheel Prahran — and honestly, today is the day. 🍉💦

Happy Australia Day 🇦🇺

Today we pause to appreciate this place we call home – its ancient landscapes, deep history, and the many cultures and communities that shape it into what it is today. We’re especially grateful for our farmers and producers. The people who rise early, work with the seasons, and grow the food that sustains us all. Their care for land and community runs deep, and we don’t take it for granted.

Just a heads up that both stores are closed today. Paddlewheel Prahran reopens tomorrow from 7am.

Wishing you a happy and safe Australia Day 🙏

This is a pretty special way to kick off the long weekend.

Mrs Pobblebonks Gossamer garlic has landed in store at Paddlewhee Prahran Market store — all stripey skins, perfume-for-days aroma, and that proper garlic punch you only get from careful, small-scale growing ❤️

It comes from Mrs Pobblebonks’ farm in Trentham, grown slowly in cool country soil, harvested by hand, and cured with patience. It’s the kind of garlic that reminds you why recipes say one clove… and why you ignore that advice every single time (well at least we do)!

Even better? She’s not just a grower we love — she’s a customer here at Prahran too. Full circle, local as it gets, and exactly the kind of produce we’re proud to put on the shelves.

Fresh in, fragrant, and absolutely worth grabbing while it’s here. Here’s to happy long weekend cooking 🧄✨

It’s officially plum season at Paddlewheel Prahran and honestly, this is the bit of summer we wait for.

Right now we’ve got a beautiful mix on the table. Mariposa plums with that deep red flesh and rich, sweet flavour. Black Splendour, an early-season favourite that’s just as good eaten fresh as it is cooked into something savoury. And then there are Pixie plums – small, punchy, and wildly addictive. A natural cross between a cherry and a plum, and perfect for snacking straight from the bag.

These are the kinds of fruit that remind you why shopping at the market matters. Picked in season, full of flavour, and gone before you know it. No holding back. No waiting for later.

If you’re wandering Prahran Market today, swing past and have a look. Ask us what’s eating best. Taste one. Take a few home.

Plum season doesn’t hang around – enjoy it while it’s here 💜🍑
