Market conditions are challenging this week, with limited supplies driving up prices for popular produce like broccolini, green capsicum, lettuce, and zucchini. While grapes are plentiful, their imported status has inflated costs. Limes and kiwifruit also remain pricey. On a brighter note, broccoli and asparagus are in ample supply with attractive price points. Tomatoes are also performing well. Plus, enjoy exceptional quality and value on strawberries and blueberries!
Remember, these are just some highlights, and there's always a wide variety of fresh produce available at the market, with prices varying based on seasonality and availability. We encourage you to explore and discover new favourites!

Delight in abundant supplies of crisp apples, sweet strawberries, and tangy mandarins at incredible prices! Broccoli, potatoes, and tomatoes are looking fresher than ever with improved affordability. Unfortunately, limes remain stubbornly expensive due to limited availability. While imported grapes are available, be prepared to splurge for the privilege. Don't miss out on the last of the season's exotic persimmons – their unique flavour won't last long!
