The Queensland growing region of Bowen has finished for vegetables. The cold and wet weather in our next major growing region Victoria has affected supply resulting in many shortages in vegetables and Leaf lines.

Lines majorly affected are Tomatoes, Broccolini, Cauliflower, Capsicums, Eggplant and Leaf lines such as Baby Spinach and Rocket.

Bowen vegetable growing region is finishing for the season, and we will start to head down the East coast and pull from southeast QLD and Victoria. This will affect the supply of some vegetables in the short term until the new growing regions ramp up.

ISSUE 146 "FRESH IS BEST"
