25.01.2022 There’s no doubt 2020 has been tough, but if there’s one thing we could always count on it would be that Aussie farmers have our backs. National Agriculture Day is coming up this Friday, but we think one day celebrating Aussie Farmers just isn’t enough! This week we are going to highlight some of the great farmers we call family starting with Nick and the crew from @gibbbros The legends at @gibbbros are a third generation farming business founded in 1997. They supply al...l things green including Iceberg Lettuce, Celery, Cabbages, Cauliflower and more! We love working with these guys to bring our Chefs some of the best quality produce there is! #AgDayAU

23.01.2022 We’ve been excited to see a lot of our Melbourne hospitality family opening their doors again this week like the guys at @palermomelbourne - with more to follow at the end of June . #repost #hospitality #mebourne #freshproduce #wholesaleproduce #seasonal #fruit #vegetables

23.01.2022 Most of us are pretty savvy to the fact a banana can be used well after it is ripe (hello banana bread!) but did you know the versatility of the banana plant goes way beyond that. Everything from the flowers to the raw fruit to the leaves can be utilised in cooking. Even the ashes of banana trees can be used to make Kola Khar - a preparation believed to be good for boosting digestion. If that doesn’t inspire you... then maybe a glimpse behind the banana leaves of our partner Sam’s farm in Middle Point, Darwin will . #welcometothefamily #freshproduce #seasonalproduce #australiangrown #darwin #bananas #paddocktoplate
