Happy New Year – may 2015 bring you good health, happiness, lots of rewarding experiences and a bountiful harvest from all our farmers throughout the year.
Seasonal fruit and vegie update
Don’t miss the delicious red papaya from Rob and Kadi at Clothiers Creek Fresh Produce. It is packed with flavour and super healthy with its dark orange flesh and is a good source of Vitamin C and beta carotene. Serve with some passionfruit and cream for a delicious dessert or add some to a mixed salad and sprinkle over macadamia dukkah – simply divine!
