24.01.2022 Dave’s Market Update This week, Dave says... Great week for tomatoes this week! Those delicious little snacking tomatoes are now in their spring flush, so great flavour and great prices. The more traditional truss tomatoes are also very good value. All our stores have a very attractive and well priced special with new season brushed potatoes this week. Mushrooms, Dutch carrots and rhubarb are all well supplied and continue to be cheap. Iceberg lettuce and beet...root, both loose and bunched, are real value. Chinese cabbage has eased a little more and can be a tasty addition to almost any meal. It’s also a great week for bananas at Harris Farm this week. Quality and price are both great and this is always a good time of year for bananas, with the weather not too hot and not too cold in the growing areas. It’s a bit tricky with berries as we are in between growing between areas on raspberries and strawberries. Both are a bit weather affected this week and so I would recommend blackberries as the pick of the berries this week. Navel oranges are coming to an end and imported fruit is not very good yet so it’s Aussie summer Valencia’s for me for the near future. We have some very good eating and well-priced rockmelons in our stores this week and large topless pines are also really good value. The mango quality is improving as we source most of our fruit from Katherine not Darwin which has had heavy rain recently. - David Harris Purchase Dave’s weekly market update box by clicking the product tag now!

23.01.2022 Dave’s Market Update This week, Dave says... We are now in full swing with Valencia oranges, which are picked fresh and sent to market. Any navels you may come across now will be stored fruit, they may be good or they may not. The Valencia’s of course have lots of seeds, that’s just how they are. Topless pineapples and bananas continue to be very well supplied and inexpensive. Stonefruit is interesting; heavy rains ruined many of the early cherries, however I h...ave seen some very good 2kg boxes in our stores this week. Apricots are the best I have seen for this early in the season. Peaches and nectarines are being heavily promoted by the chain stores but in my view are not quite there yet, look to next week for bigger sweeter fruit. Our grapes are now all Australian however some other retailers still have imported fruit which like me are getting a bit long in the tooth. The apple season is virtually over, a few good pink Ladies still around but its time now to think about grapes, mangoes... Again there is a multitude of fabulous vegetables available this week. All tomatoes are fabulous quality and inexpensive. My pick of the tomatoes this week are the cherry truss; superb flavour and half last week’s price. Mushrooms, Dutch carrots, Rhubarb and zucchini are all still inexpensive again. Baby broccoli, cauliflowers and broccoli are all great bargains this week. The choices are there and the growing conditions remain perfect. Enjoy the feast! David Harris Get Dave’s weekly Market Update box delivered for $60 by clicking the product tag See more

07.01.2022 Dave’s Market Update This week, Dave says... Tomatoes are fantastic this week. All our snacking tomatoes, truss and in fact all tomatoes, are great quality and falling in price. Beans are great value and I must refer you to my pick of the week which is beanettes. They are the best bean you will buy anywhere in NSW. All cucumbers - especially Telegraphs mushrooms, Dutch carrots and rhubarb continue to be great value. Four items that have become cheaper this w...eek are Iceberg lettuce, coriander, broccoli and later this week, cauliflower. Look for bargains in these products over the weekend and enjoy the flush of Spring vegetables. In berries, I think blackberries and strawberries represent the best value. Sweet topless pineapples continue to be great value and Australian peaches, nectarines and grapes are all hitting their straps now and will only get better and sweeter every week. It’s a bit of an in-between time for mangoes as we come to the end of the Norther Territory fruit and Queensland is not quite ready to go. By next week, there will be more fruit available. The first lychees are in store and again, they will get better every week. David Harris Don’t miss out! Buy Dave’s weekly Market Update box now by clicking the product link! See more

07.01.2022 Dave’s Pick of the Week This week, Dave’s pick is... Beanettes! My product of the week is beanettes. At the moment, we only sell these in a tray, and they are by far the best bean we sell. At this time of the year, the very best beanettes in store are grown for us by the Mitchison family from the Manning river near Taree. Beanette is a made-up name now used to describe any baby beans which are of the smaller varieties of green beans. So, it comes down to the indiv...idual grower as to what beanettes you actually get. The bean our grower has was originally imported from the USA but bred in Holland and is such an extraordinary product that when they are available, they are the only bean I take home. They are not cheap but a four-dollar packet will feed three or possibly four people so at a dollar a head per serve, these are great value and a great product. There is only one grower of this product and that farmer currently has stock. However, some weeks we will run out, particularly on the weekend but we won’t substitute these for a lesser product whilst they are in season and available. David Harris HOW TO PICK Pick the beans with a vibrant bright green colour, avoid darker looking beans and beans with blemishes or large swollen pods. Fresh beans of good quality should be slim and crisp, and should snap when broken. HOW TO STORE Store unwashed, in a plastic bag in the fridge or crisper, and use within 4 days. See more

06.01.2022 Dave’s Pick of the Week This week, Dave’s pick is... Basil! A fabulous herb that is annual; there are many different varieties, the green being the most common. Basil loves warmer weather to grow and so becomes plentiful in late spring and early summer. An absolute essential in Italian cooking! Best results come from adding the herb towards the end of the cooking process. Basil is on special at all Harris Farm stores this week. - David Harris HOW TO PICK... When buying fresh basil, look for bright green leaves that are not browning or dried on the edges. HOW TO STORE Pick the leaves off the stems and lay them in a single layer on paper towel. Roll up the towel around the leaves and put the roll in a plastic bag. This method keeps the leaves hydrated but not wet or damp. See more

04.01.2022 Dave’s Pick of the Week This week, Dave’s pick is... Blackberries! My pick this week is blackberries. Just a few years ago we only had the traditional wild varieties and the season was 4 or 5 short weeks late January to early March. Forward to today and we have fabulous sweet ,juicy plump varieties nearly twelve months of the year and blackberries are now around twenty five percent of our berry category. Many of the commercial farms now have thornless varieties which... makes the harvest far less problematic. They become more popular every year and sales will soon equal strawberry sales! They are really plentiful this week, so make sure to look for a bargain in your local HFM store. David Harris HOW TO PICK: Look for plump, firm, fully black berries. HOW TO STORE: To store blackberries, put them in a shallow container and place them in a cool spot or in the refrigerator as soon as you can after picking. Fresh blackberries are very perishable and should be eaten or frozen with two or three days of picking. Blackberries freeze well, and frozen berries can be used for making ice creams, sherbets, pies or dessert sauces. To freeze them, just arrange them in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Put the cookie sheet in the freezer for an hour or two, then pour the frozen berries into a large container. Frozen, they'll keep for as long as 10 months. See more

03.01.2022 Dave’s Market Update This week, Dave says... ‘We have an abundance of fabulous tomatoes this week, especially truss, Tomberry tomatoes and yellow snacking tomatoes. The hot weather has led to lower prices especially in the cauliflower, zucchini and broccoli categories. Beans, beanettes, leeks and rhubarb are all easing as well. Mushrooms and rhubarb continues to be very good value and we are enjoying a decent price fall in corn. Berries and mangoes continue to b...e a little undersupplied. Quality cherries have had a little more rain than is ideal so it may be mid next week before supply returns to normal. Grapes, both red and white are still coming from Queensland. Normally I don’t get too excited about these early Queensland grapes however this year, they are quite a decent product and fairly priced. Australian Valencia oranges, most melons and bananas are all excellent quality and well supplied. The peaches and nectarines available this week are genuinely worth eating and will get better every week. With the hot weather this week, I don’t think you can go past the excellent quality, well priced seedless melon now in store.

03.01.2022 Dave’s Pick of the Week This week, Dave’s pick is... Seedless Watermelon! My pick this week is seedless watermelon. NSW is going to swelter this weekend and early next week, making it ideal to grab a slice of cold cut watermelon from the fridge. If you wish to keep melon more than a couple of days, it is always better to buy a whole melon. At HFM, we appreciate that a whole melon is less work for us and so we will always discount the whole product price compared to cut.... At this stage and for the next few weeks, the melons grow in far North Queensland and transport makes up a big part of the total cost of the product. Years ago, we did not have melon until later in summer, however we now source melons 12 months of the year from the Northern Territory in mid winter through to NSW and the irrigation area in summer. The weather is perfect to enjoy excellent quality melon at a somewhat cheaper price than it has been for some months. David Harris HOW TO PICK: Look for the yellow spot: Watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground. When this splotch is creamy yellow, it's ripe. Give it a thump: Tap the underbelly of the watermelon. A ripe one will have a deep hollow sound, which means it is brimming with juice and at the peak of its ripeness. HOW TO STORE: Once watermelon is cut and cubed, store anything you’re not eating right away in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Cut watermelon pieces are at their best when eaten within three to four days of being cut. Soon after being cut, the liquid slowly seeps out of the flesh, and along with it, the sweet flavor you associate with watermelon. See more
