16.01.2022 Little shop of horrors? This bloom is around 25cm across. #extraterrestrial #littleshopofhorrors #artichoke #possiblecarnivour #watchout

16.01.2022 I’m looking forward to a bumper crop of mulberries this year. Due to drought we haven’t had much in the last two years but soon we will be able to pick plenty the abundance is shared with our veggie box customers #mulberries #seasonaleating #spring #veggieboxes #abundanxe

16.01.2022 Last years peak tomato harvest. I was reminiscing about it as Melanie @the_brickworks_farm is joining me for this Sunday’s seedling sale. Mel grows a huge range of cool heirloom tomato and chili seedlings....which have just been uploaded to my web shop for the pre-sales. There are only limited numbers of some varieties so don’t snooze if you want to secure a few for your garden There are also basil, oregano, thyme, silverbeet, coriander, mint, red and green lettuce, leek, ...red beetroot, parsley, chives, mizuna & rosemary. #gardening #gyo #seedlingsale #seedlings #backyardbounty #growyourown See more

13.01.2022 Harvest this week: leek, sweet fennel fronds, spring onions, red kale, pumpkin, onions, snow peas, sweet potato, cauliflower, salad, broccoli and lemons #veggiebox #vegetables #eatyourgreens #knowyourfarmer #fresh #seasonal

12.01.2022 These free-range teenage chicks have decided that beneath the bathtub-potting-bench is the best place to lounge on a rainy day. #chickens #chickensofinstagram #farmlife #rainyday

12.01.2022 Volunteer session this Friday 9-12! Come and join us we’re getting on top of all the lovely abundant growth the rain is bringing us and hopefully getting a bunch of celeriac in the ground. Supervised children allowed. If you want to come and help out please dm me #farmhand #volunteer #gardening #learnhowtofarm #gyo

12.01.2022 There are two options here. Either we can chuck this into landfill because it doesn’t fulfill the supermarket standards of an acceptable beetroot (but who set those standards anyway? it feels like they are stuck in the 90s). The other option is to grow healthy and delicious food AND provide it for people to eat, sustainably. Fortunately our customers agree that better flavour beets looks any day and so the fate of this yellow beauty was to be thoroughly enjoyed as part ...of our veggie box this week. The veggie box this week included: fabulous yellow beets, basil, cucumber, zucchini, onions, garlic, salad, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, chives, turnips or radishes. #bethechange #eatthebeet #beetroot #yellowbeet #sustainable

10.01.2022 They’re just so weird and wonderful these ice plants. Little bubbles of salt water all over their stems and leaves really sets them apart from other plants. #iceplant #garnishes #sydneychef #sydney #delicious #makeitdelicious

10.01.2022 Fancy rolling like a chef? These society garlic flowers, a chef favorite, is now available from our online shop. Also, if you have a restaurant or cafe in Sydney and would like some edible flowers delivered then please get in touch as we have wholesale options. We deliver to Sydney every Thursday afternoon so you have fresh flowers for the weekend. #societygarlic #edibleflowers #garlic #sydneychef #foodies #fromdrabtofab

10.01.2022 So many orange and pink flowers this week! The Marigold and dianthus are going nuts and the ranunculus have just started blooming. Chocolate Mint in the last photo. I made a choc cake for Georgia’s sixth birthday and it didn’t look anything like a kids cake (more granny style actually ) BUT I realised I really love using the green foliage’s on cakes. In this case snow pea sprigs and choc mint. I also used the three first ever ranunculus at the farm and heaps of pink and whi...te snow pea flowers and a couple of large carrot flowers. What do you think about the green? Worth offering as a separate option? #edibleflowers #garnishes #orange #sydneycakes #chocolatemint #grownnotflown #local #fresh

07.01.2022 Oh hey, scuse me fellas. Just coming thru... #kangaroos #roos #skippy #australia

06.01.2022 Just in time for the heat. We installed a side window on the tunnel yesterday. When I say just in time it means we should’ve done it a couple of months ago as we were getting steamed like two beans installing that thing in the roof of the tunnel yesterday but boy is it a relief to have more ventilation and felt pretty chuffed afterwards. Thanks to @little_hill_farm for helping out with the welding #resilience #heatwave #farming #marketgarden #farmlife

06.01.2022 This week’s box: Romanesco or broccoli, mint, wombok, kale, sweet potato, baby spinach, salad, snow peas, beans, thyme and onions. In the late winter/early spring hunger gap we add a few extra certified organic items to our boxes. It provides our customers with the best bridge between locally/seasonal and supporting your own farmer whilst eating organically. It’s the second year where we have been providing winter veggie boxes (before we used to shut down for three months) and we feel this it the best mix #veggiebox #harvest #hungergap #supportlocal #winterveggies

05.01.2022 You know Diego is happy when he takes the time to make an arrangement with your produce upon delivery @general_store_cafe_berrima #berrima #fresh #seasonal #italianchef #artichokes #cheflife

05.01.2022 A break under the tagasaste. Thanks Daneka for the lovely article in Small farms magazine the title sums it up very well #farmlife #itsallglam #familyfarming #edibleflowers #doityourway #smallscalefarming #veggies

04.01.2022 G picked almost ten kg of snow peas today from an 8m trellis talk about peak harvest for these plants! We love them but they are a pain to pick, I’m sure I’m on next week’s roster ........ Veggies this week: Salad, red cabbage, snow peas, beans, potatoes, broccoli, mint, silverbeet, green garlic and some organic asparagus we managed to get our hand on that we knew our customers would #veggiebox #spring #organic #sprayfree #fresh #vegetables

04.01.2022 Stocktake and pruning in the tunnel this morning before the heat hit. Tomato season is about to hit us in a big way this year. I’ll be up early to do some more pruning...despite that big pile of leaves (pic in comment) there’s actually more to come off the plants to increase air flow. The black galaxy tomatoes (spot the stars...) are coming along nicely. #tomatoes #abundance #seasonal #delicious #knowyourfarmer #gardening #garden #marketgarden

04.01.2022 Hey Highlanders! You’ll now find a selection of our produce, including fresh edible flowers, salad greens, herbs, beets and this mountain of just-picked-carrots as well as stacks of other goodies at the newly opened @birch_store in Moss Vale We these guys and have been working with the restaurant for some time and are so chuffed to continue our collaboration by supplying the Birch Store. Duck in to say hi to them and check out all the deliciousness! #localproduce #knowyourproduce #knowyourfarmer #local #seasonal #fresh #delicious #foodie #providore

04.01.2022 See us talk tomatoes with @realgrahamross on @bhgaus at 7pm this evening! or 7plus if you missed it. Graham is a wealth of information and energy and it was great to discuss all matters gardening and travel with him on a beautiful spring day a couple of weeks ago. #betterhomesandgardens #bhg #channelseven #gyo #gardening #tomatoes #growyourown

02.01.2022 Zucchini’s and cucumbers are back in season I can eat so many of these beauties! Also, what do we think about using brown paper produce bags for cherry tomatoes? We realized we had run out and as usual that sparked the debate about PET vs PLA plastics and how we feel that neither one is a good choice. Maybe we’ll just stick to bags. The rest of the box this week consists of fennel, the very last caulis this season, potatoes, tomatoes, oregano, beetroots, salad, spring onion, carrots, the aforementioned cucumbers and zucchini’s and pumpkin. Hope you are all enjoying your veggies #veggiebox #knowyourfarmer #local #seasonal #csaausnz #freshproduce
