25.01.2022 PURSLANE - Moisture rich and cucumber-like. This succulent has oval-shaped leaves with a tart, lemony flavour... plus a hint of pepper.

24.01.2022 Looking through an alley of our Red Radish Micro Greens - don't forget to grab a pot from your local Coles supermarket this week. Visit our website for a full list of stockists. Red Radish is a real winner, with not only its rich colour buts its spicy flavour. Great on Asian inspired dishes or in a humble sandwich. #microgreens #microherbs #redradish #radishred #redradishmicrogreens #hydroponics #healhthyeating #growyourown #localproduce #freshproduce #nutritionalfood

23.01.2022 Last week had the pleasure of having a number of apprentice chefs and hospitality students from @tafensw join us on a Bush Foods tour here at the farm. In collaboration with @curriecountry, we presented a number of Native foods and explored how these plants are found in their natural state, and how they can be sustainably grown hydroponically for the food services industry. Watching the students be so captivated and excited about the produce we are growing was awesome . #nativefoods #pocketherbs #curriecountry #bushfoods #australianfood #australianproduce #tafensw #nswtafe #kingscliff

22.01.2022 Which do you prefer? At Pocket Herbs, we grow 2 varieties of the Heart Leaf Ice Plant - one with vibrant green leaves and one with variegated colours.

18.01.2022 All packed up and ready to go... The team will be out in the greenhouse today busy packing for our much valued wholesale and providore customers!
