“As the chill of winter sets in, our focus is on providing the freshest, most comforting produce to help you through the colder months. We are working closely with our growers to bring top-quality, nourishing ingredients straight to your kitchen table.”
Potatoes & Oranges
Potatoes
With the colder weather settling in, our supply of potatoes is robust following a strong main harvest. They are looking excellent in quality—firm, earthy, and versatile. Whether you're whipping up a creamy mash, a hearty stew, or a classic Sunday roast, we have a steady supply of all your favourite varieties ready to build the ultimate comforting winter meal.
Oranges
Citrus season is in full swing, bringing a bright spot to gloomy winter days. Our winter Navel oranges are yielding a fantastic crop—vibrant in colour and exceptionally juicy. They offer an affordable and delicious way to boost your daily vitamin intake, whether freshly sliced as a snack or juiced for breakfast.
Onions & Avocados
Onions
A non-negotiable foundation for almost every winter recipe! Our locally grown onions are in steady supply with fantastic firmness and pungency. Thanks to great storage conditions, they are ready to provide the perfect aromatic base for your rich soups, curries, and slow-cooked family dinners.
Avocados
As we progress through the winter months, we begin to see the early harvest of our new season avocados making an appearance. While early in the season, supply will steadily build, bringing that creamy, rich texture back to your morning toast, winter salads, and warming Mexican dishes.
Mandarins & Kiwifruit
Mandarins
Winter is when mandarins truly shine, and we are currently seeing fantastic volumes of this Kiwi favourite. Sweet, juicy, and incredibly easy to peel, these little Vitamin C powerhouses are the ultimate fuss-free, immune-boosting snack to keep the winter chills at bay. They are a great way to bring a little backyard sunshine to those gray winter days.
Kiwifruit
Following a stellar autumn harvest, our cool stores are well-stocked, meaning both our sweet Gold and tangy Green kiwifruit are in peak abundance. Delivering a world-renowned eating experience, they are a delicious, everyday solution to help keep the family's immune system supported during the colder months.
