23.01.2022 We're having a great time meeting some of our northern growers this week - Tex, who has worked for Moore's Farm Fresh in Scottsdale for thirty years, gave us an amazing tour of parts of their rolling 1200 acres of onion, carrot, beetroot, swede and potato plantings today. Look at that rich red soil!

22.01.2022 Spring garlic: if you haven't used this before, here's a handy guide to getting the most out of it! The loose leaves at the end can be usable but just like leeks, they're probably easiest to add to the compost. Trim to the top of the stem, trim off the stringy roots at the bottom, and what's left (see picture on the right) is all garlic! Obviously putting it through a garlic crusher isn't going to be an option, but just chop it up and add it to dishes just like cured garlic.... The bunches of scapes in the $30 boxes are almost completely usable - the only bit that I'd trim off is the conical seed head at the end. (Scapes are actually the long central stem that carries the flowers, which in these scapes is only just starting to form but blooms into a full flower if left to go that far.) The end of the spring garlic with the roots on grows over time to form a large bulb, at which point the cloves start to separate - the stem (by this stage tough and woody) is then removed from this and the bulb is left to dry, during which time the soft layers become flaky and papery, fully separating the cloves.

22.01.2022 November means strawberries! This week's $20 and $40 boxes feature delicious spring strawberries from DM Jennings & Sons in Cygnet - don't panic, we'll definitely be including them in the other box types too in future weeks! Iceberg lettuce from Southern Fields is starting this week too - perfect for BBQ weather later in the week - and $40 boxes get lovely organic watercress bunches from York Town Organics. If you'd like to order for next Friday (13th, spooky...) please email... [email protected] no later than Monday 10 am with the full details of your order.

21.01.2022 Beetroot and rocket salad is a modern classic; here it is as a soup! Beetroot boiled in stock then blitzed with a squeeze of lemon (a potato adds a creamier texture); rocket salsa verde/pesto (capers, chili, rocket, red wine vinegar, garlic, cashews) #beetroot #rocket #arugula #pesto #salsaverde #soup

20.01.2022 Potato salad is one of the best ways to enjoy new-season pink eyes. This one is dressed with half-half mayo & yoghurt, with spring onion, pickles and dill. What do you put in yours? #potatosalad #pinkeyepotatoes

19.01.2022 Felafel with a salad of thinly sliced and salted fennel and radish (thanks food processor...), diced cooked beetroot and mint, dressed with lemon and olive oil, and liberally sprinkled with sumac, nigella and sesame. #beetroot #fennel #radish #mint

If you'd like to order for next Friday (2nd) please email [email protected] no later than Monday 10 am with the details of your order. If you're planning on heading away during October and have a subscription, please let us know so we can cancel any required dates - please also note that we'll be... having a break ourselves, so there won't be any boxes on the 23rd October.

19.01.2022 September orders are open, and we've got a couple of special treats for Father's Day - Hells Gates chilli sauce from Tasmanian Kitchen Pantry or a boozy apple and brandy cake from Imago Bakery & Patisserie. Or if you've grown up and moved out, why not ask us to send your dad his own box of delicious Tasmanian produce? https://mailchi.mp//backyard-bounty-veggie-box-orders-for-

19.01.2022 Backyard Bounty veggie box orders for December are now open! We're excited to be able to offer our $10 fruit supplement in December (normally this is only available from January), featuring extra delicious things like berries from Hillwood Berries, DM Jennings & Sons, apples from Lucaston Park Orchards and cherries from Cherries Tasmania Orchards. And with Christmas on the way, why not add a R.T Fish Bakery Christmas pudding or cake too? https://mailchi.mp//backyard-bounty-veggie-box-orders-for-

19.01.2022 Freshly picked home-grown limes from Lindisfarne heading out in $40 boxes tomorrow If you've got home-grown produce you can't use (especially citrus), please get in touch and we may be able to buy it or swap for box credit - but please WAIT til we get back to you before picking! (P.S. ripe limes are yellow-green - commercial growers harvest fruit before it's fully ripe, partly so it keeps longer, and partly because customers have been taught to associate green with limes...) #homegrownproduce #tasmanianfruit #limes

17.01.2022 Hello raspberries! #raspberries #tasmanianproduce @hillwood_berries

17.01.2022 A spot of BBQ weather meant finding something to accompany these gigantic sausages from @ziggyssmallgoodstasmania. I knocked up some thyme-infused caramelised onion (four or five sliced brown onions, salt, thyme and pepper all shaken up in a pot with a tight fitting lid then left to cook for an hour or two on low heat with an occasional stir, then finished over high heat with a bit of lard saved from a roast). But the star was the beetroot - diced cooked beetroot (roasted whole skin-on then peeled) dressed with Polish mustard, lots of a sour cherry jam that came home with us from Berlin, neutral oil and a little white wine vinegar. Other jams might work too, but I reckon the cherry jam is a great match for the beets! #beetroot #grilledcos #onion #cookingovercoals #tasmanianproduce

12.01.2022 Baby new season Kennebecs, scrubbed, halved, roasted in a bit of reserved pig fat and hit with a little @tasmanseasalt . #spuds #tasmanianproduce

11.01.2022 Pastitsio - a traditional Greek pasta bake - is delicious but a bit light on veg. Here, in addition to a rich lamb and tomato sauce mixed with macaroni, I've included a layer of fried eggplant above and below, crowned with lemony garlic silverbeet and a topping of yoghurt, pecorino, eggs and nutmeg instead of the usual bechamel. The silverbeet stems went into the lamb sauce in much the same way as celery is used in a mirepoix. #pastitsio #tasmanianproduce #comfortfood

09.01.2022 Making the most of the last cauli for the season with a triple-decker cauliflower cheese risotto! The top of the cauli was rubbed with a BBQ rub (garlic, thyme, mace, mustard, smoked paprika, olive oil and salt) and baked in a pot half full of chicken stock so the top roasted and the bottom steamed/boiled. I used the infused chicken stock to make the risotto, finished it with butter and smoked cheese and cheddar. Underneath the risotto is a puree of the steamed part of the cauli (using almost all the stem too!), and on top is the top bits of the cauli, split and reroasted for even more roasty notes. #cauliflower #seasonaleating #tasmanianproduce #cauliflowercheese

08.01.2022 Tassie cherry tomatoes from the Brandsema family - it's starting to feel like spring! #tomatoes #seasonaleating #tasmanianproduce

08.01.2022 Winter meets summer... a Thai-inspired cabbage salad (shredded raw cabbage, picked mint, cashews + chilli, mustard greens and Vietnamese mint from the garden, with a dressing of fresh lime juice, fish sauce, maple syrup, grated ginger and finely sliced spring garlic from the garden); chargrilled beef burger with finely chopped shallot, toasted jasmine rice powder (just brown in a dry pan then grind), toasted coconut, lemongrass from the freezer, some reserved lard and a couple of heaped teaspoons of store-bought red curry. #redcurry #cabbagesalad #cabbage #mint #burger #chargrilled #bbq

07.01.2022 Orecchiette; Cygnet mushrooms with garden herbs, loads of butter, garlic, pasta water and finished with curly parsley; bacon pangrattato; parmesan. #mushrooms #pasta #pangrattato

06.01.2022 Skordalia (from the Greek "skordo" meaning garlic) is part of the family of "sauces" made by emulsifying olive oil and garlic, of which true aioli (which isn't garlic mayo) is the more ubiquitous cousin. Unlike mayo, skordalia doesn't use eggs; instead, olive oil is whipped into a puree of garlic and a base ingredient, often potatoes or stale bread, lightening the texture like butter does in mashed potato, but in a much healthier way! This smoked cauliflower skordalia starts ...with a puree of smoked cauliflower and garlic lightly cooked in milk (I had a stash of old garlic that needed picking over and using. After pureeing, keep the food processor running and slowly pour in enough olive oil to get a fluffy, mayo-like consistency (at least 200mL for half a cauli). Season with salt and vinegar; if you don't have garlic you could replace some of the olive oil with garlic oil. I beefed up the smoky flavour with some liquid smoke, but a plain, unsmoked skordalia would be equally delicious. See more

06.01.2022 Our wonderful photgrapher Kristy is taking a break from our boxes for a while, so we're looking for a weekly subscriber to take over the role. It's a fairly low key gig - $10 credit off your weekly box - but we will definitely credit your work/tag if you're keen to use it for exposure. If you're interested, please email your snaps of this week and/or next week's box to the usual address - [email protected]. Nothing super arty required, just a crisp shot capturing the natural colour and beauty of fresh Tassie fruit and veg. We will need a photo every week, so it's really only suitable for subscribers receiving a weekly $30 or $40 box.

06.01.2022 We're back from a short break refreshed and ready to bring you the best fruit and veg that Tasmania has to offer! Orders are open for the 15th, 22nd and 29th January - in addition to the usual veggie boxes and great optional add-ons, we're currently offering our seasonal fruit addons: our $10 fruit supplement gets you two or three extra fruit items per week, or you can splurge for our $25 fruit-only box (which can be ordered without a veggie box). Click the link below for more details!

06.01.2022 In addition to being certified organic and using compostable packaging, @yorktownorganics also grow a range of leafy greens you won't find anywhere else - $30 boxes this week include a lucky dip of red mizuna or this enticingly named new baby leaf. #certifiedorganic #babyleaf #tasmanianproduce

04.01.2022 Fennel and leek risotto (with pernod, butter, parmesan, chicken stock, basil); pear and @wellingtonapiary fennel honey puree; salt and vinegar roasted parsnip and fennel (balsamic, salt, pepper, chicken fat). #fennel #leeks #pears #risotto

03.01.2022 Garlic season round three: after the scapes are harvested the fully-formed bulbs are dug and then dried. However, it's not necessary to dry them unless they're being stored; this week's lovely purple garlic from Tasmanian Garlic Company is still fresh - the layers of skin in between the cloves have yet to dry into the familiar papery "wrapper". The skin is not great eats, but if you're keen to avoid waste it could be used for flavour in stocks and other infusions. #garlic #seasonaleating #tasmanianproduce

03.01.2022 Calzone/Turkish pizza, filled with greens (spinach, silverbeet), egg, yoghurt, parmesan, nutmeg, spring onion, nigella, lemon juice and zest); beetroot tzatziki (roasted beets with lemon, garlic and yoghurt). Must learn how to do Turkish pizza properly... #meatfreemonday #beetroot #spinach #silverbeet

03.01.2022 This week's boxes include peppery radish and rocket, and the last tomatoes of the season from Cracknells Tomatoes. (This week's tomatoes were harvested on Wednesday, all the old plants were pulled out yesterday and the new plants are already going in next week for a November start!) If you'd like to order for the 21st please email [email protected] no later than Monday 10 am. Thanks to the following growers and producers this week:...

02.01.2022 Delicious baby sprouting broccoli bunches, new from Dendra Market Gardens and in boxes this week! #tasmanianproduce #broccoletti

02.01.2022 Roasted cauli on beetroot hummus! Combining cauli and beetroot can be a challenge; this, however, was excellent. For the hummus, I put a tin of drained chickpeas, a heap of tahini, lemon juice, and finely chopped garlic scapes, brought that together and poured in a generous amount of olive oil with the motor running - salt and a bit of honey for balance. I roasted the cauli simply with olive oil, salt and cumin seed; I then added almond slivers, pine nuts, pepitas and a knob of butter for the last five minutes. #beetroot #cauliflower #hummus

01.01.2022 This week's boxes feature buckwheat kernels from Kindred Organics (you can eat these straight from the packet, dry toast them in a pan for a nuttier flavour, or cook them in a similar way to rice) and echallions from Premium Fresh Tasmania. If you'd like to order for the last Friday of August (28th) please email the details of your order to [email protected] no later than Monday 10 am. Thanks to the following growers and producers this week:...
