Greetings

Happy New year from all of us here at The All Organic Farm. We would like to wish you and your loved ones all the best for a safe, happy and prosperous new year filled with love and peace.

We had some much needed time off in between Christmas and New years day with the exception of attending both Salamanca markets on each weekend and attending to and supplying stalls at the taste festival.

Fruit and Veg news

We have plenty of great fruit and vegetable news this week with a few new arrivals on the way!

Be sure to check out the great new season Menindee seedless grapes coming from Andrew Jones. The Menindee seedless are an excellent eating seedless green grape. They are generally sweet with a touch of tartness to finish. They are bigger than a sultana grape which makes them less time consuming to pick of the bunch and stuff into ones mouth!!!

The weather has been cruel to the cherry (and berry) farmers this season. The Cherries we received before Christmas were of poor quality due to not enough sunshine and toooooo much rain at the wrong time. No Problems with that this week! The cherry’s we have coming this week are super crisp and loaded with sweetness.

As if this newsletter wasn’t making your tastebuds explode already! Brothers, Scott & Nigel Graham from Glenpatrick Organics in the Derwent Valley have finally started picking their famous raspberries. These two brothers have invested much time and effort into choosing the Very best Raspberry varieties and loading the soil with Organic composts and nutrients to ensure the maximum flavour and nutrients are locked into their special raspberries. They simply can’t be beaten!

More Berries!!!! Wil has started picking his Blueberry crop for 2009. They are loaded with flavour and sweetness. We are running a special price of $6.95 per punnet or 2 punnets for $12.

You might be wondering weather the price of the peaches is a misprint….. Well unfortunately no it isn’t. They are simply amazing! Beautiful white fleshed peaches. Loaded with flavour and unbelievable sweetness! Well worth the treat and cheaper than a cup of coffee.

Paw paw is back on the menu also. We have been getting some amazing Red paw paw’s from Rose in Lemon springs Far north Queensland.

The Basil has finally started. The Jackson family of Yorktown organics have started picking their much anticipated basil crop.

The Carrot season has come back to Tassie. Thank goodness. We were all getting a little tired of the hit and miss nature of the mainland carrot supply. We are back to the best and sweetest carrots from the Benson family of Forest Hill Farms.

The Local Zucchini is flowing thick and fast and the price is so cheap! Check it out for the great price of $3.95 kg.

Some fantastic Strawberries and Fresh garlic will be available form Wil at Sunday Hill Strawberry farm, Petcheys bay. Wil’s strawberry crop has been a little disappointing until now. The flavour of this fruit is outstanding. We will also be running a special on Wil’s fresh garlic. Now at $29 kg.

We have an abundance of whole lettuce available this week coming from many growers. It seems the warmish weather and precipitation provides great growing conditions for lettuce. We have iceberg, Cos and baby cos in plentiful supply and fantastic quality. At a great special price of $3.95 ea or 2 for $5.95

We are running a special on Gold sweet potato this week also. The price for these little lovelies will be at $3.95kg

Geoff Brown of Labertouche organics has been hard at it again and has come up trumps with his new season kale harvest! The quality is excellent and the bunches are of good size. We will be running a special this week at $3.95 per bunch.

Yorktown organics have released their latest product. Micro Salads – a mixture of their sprouts range packaged up in 80g bags. They are such a delicious combination.

How about those kiwi fruit? They have been so popular and no surprises why? The flavor is excellent and they are such good value at .80c ea of 10 for $7.
