25.01.2022 Last week we harvested our first garlic crop (grown in one, 10sq metre bed). We're excited to be popping a few of these lil' delights into veggie boxes over summer!

22.01.2022 A great reminder to eat fresh, local, seasonal tucker!

20.01.2022 Let the garlic harvest begin!

14.01.2022 Hey veggie luvers! If you live in either the Longford or Poatina areas of Tasmania (or are willing to travel there each week), we are currently offering two "Summer Veggie Box" subscriptions (this means, you sign up to receive a weekly or fortnightly $30 box of delicious, local, seasonal, spray-free veg & herbs until the end of March 2016). If you're interested / want more info, please get in touch by messaging our page or by email/ph: [email protected] / 0447 586 75...1. Also, please share this post with anyone who might be interested. Thanks!

11.01.2022 For all those mushroom luvers out there, get along to the Harvest Market Launceston tomorrow and support our mates, Wild Spore, who will be debuting their fungally, wild goodness! @wildspore @harvest_launceston

11.01.2022 A wonderful podcast on food, health and the future of food production that is working to overturn the current paradigm of greed, control, monocultures, farmer poverty & land degradation. It also goes along way in explaining why we do what we do! http://www.abc.net.au//vandana-shiva-on-feeding-th/7496766

11.01.2022 Truly Tassie Purple garlic #TwoHeadsAreBetterThanOne

09.01.2022 What to do with excess produce? Eat it! Here's an easy recipe for zucchini & potato pan frittata: 2 med potatoes (cut in rough cubes and par-boiled) 2 cups cubed zucchini 1-2 spring onions chopped 3-4 rashes of bacon diced... 2 tomatoes sliced 5 eggs (lightly beaten with some salt, chopped basil & a few lugs of cream/milk or olive oil) 1/2 Cheese grated (we're dairy free so skip the cheese) Heat some oil in a large frying pan (if it's oven proof you can brown the top under a grill) & fry potatoes lightly. Add zucchini & spring onions & bacon & fry until cooked. Add egg mixture & turn heat to low. Place tomato slices on top and sprinkle with cheese. Cover with a lid and cook until just set. Serve with salad and relish. Can be eaten hot or cold.

07.01.2022 What do you do with beetroots? Our favorite salad at the moment is some greens with grated beetroot, some freshly chopped dill or basil and a light dressing made of olive oil, vinegar and mustard. It's so simple, juicy and sweet!

07.01.2022 Captions please...

07.01.2022 We've started harvesting veg for the Longford Market House market tomorrow from 9:30am til 2pm. Get there early if you want a bunch of spectacular new season beets (modeled here by Mim) as we only have 10x bunches but lots of other fresh delights on offer

05.01.2022 Summer salad made from veggie box produce by our subscriber, Emma. Served with homemade mayo made with her backyard chook eggs, yum! #eatlocal #madewithlove #realfoodforrealpeople
