24.01.2022 We are open today and fresh supplies of Produce are arriving as usual - our trucks having taken the inland route from the south. Thanks to our Transport carriers for keeping the wheels turning even in adversity. We should have all our pallets unloaded by late morning. We will remain open for as long as it is safe to do so. Staff here today live very close by so we are keeping a very close eye on the weather. We'll be fully stocked with milk, bread, fresh produce, fresh meat - everything! - when you are ready to get out and about again. Thinking so much of our near neighbours to the south today - we are yet to be in touch with customers and stores we supply in that area but hoping all are safe and unharmed. Big love guys. Feeling super grateful for the bullet we have dodged.

24.01.2022 More Mango Madness at Sprout - now in our second week of local Certified Organic (Biodynamic) by Demeter Mangoes for $10 a bucket (5kg minimum weight). Crazy price for top of the range, best possible quality Mangoes. And grab your Luscious Local Lychees too - ripe and sweet.

23.01.2022 The Team at Sprout would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy, safe and relaxing festive season. Thank You for your amazing support during 2016, it has been sincerely appreciated. The Team is taking a well earned break during this period, and Sprout will be closed from Christmas Day up to and including Monday 2 January 2017. ... We re-open 9.00am Tuesday 3 Jan 2017 with our shelves bursting with newly arrived fresh produce, and lots of new initiatives for 2017 that we are very excited about unveiling.

18.01.2022 Vegetable Art. Except this is totally natural, not man made. Just cut your red cabbage parallel to the stalk, around the middle, instead of through the stalk and admire the random patterns you see. Take a moment - you DO have a moment, you really do. Enjoy.

Get your free tastings in store at Sprout - try them all! - you will be amazed at the taste and the creamy smoothness.

10.01.2022 How does Australia's first legal Raw Milk taste? If you're curious you can find out when we have it in store for taste testing and sale next week. Instead of heating the milk to 72 degrees to pasteurise Made by Cow uses cold pressure technology, keeping the milk raw. The milk is bottled straight from the cow within hours and put under intense water pressure, compressing both the bottle and milk inside for several minutes. This pressure eliminates any harmful bacteria, whilst being gentler on milk’s natural nutrients. This technology has been used for other things like fruit juice for some time but this is the first company to use it in Australia for milk. Keep an eye out for a free taste sample in store at Sprout next week.

09.01.2022 What do a pallet of the best, freshest spring water and premium grade mangosteens have in common? Both are superb local products and both were delivered this afternoon. And we'll be open from 11am to 6pm on Sunday 26 March if you need these or any other items for your cyclone prep. Plenty of freshly produced Mt Elliot bottled water in store now and heaps of 15L refills will be arriving on Monday. Thanks to the Mt Elliot crew for gearing up production when we needed it - only locals can respond this quickly to the needs of the local community.

05.01.2022 Free Camel Milk (from Queensland) sampling in store at Sprout on Saturday 25 June 9am-4pm and early next week until supply set aside runs out. You will be pleasantly surprised at the mild taste. They may have a face that only a mother can love but their milk has a precious component that has scientists pushing ahead with more and more research into the significant role it may have in the fight against colon and other cancers, HIV, AIDS, Alzheimer's, Diabetes, Lyme Disease and Hepatitis C. Even as a practical milk alternative it's high vitamin and mineral content (B,C and Iron), close molecular make up to human breast milk and lack of components that cause anaphalaxys and allergies in other dairy, make it suitable for many infants, autistic children and others for whom other dairy is not an option.

So much hard work since then but equally so much support from our wonderful customers for which we continue to be humbled and very grateful. Thank you to every one of you.
