I hope you are well and enjoying our glorious Autumn weather. Though I have to admit the mornings are getting chilly. it’s hard to beat days like today.

We have the first of the new season Kiwifruit in today and it shouldn’t be too long until bulk avocados will be back on the shelves. I’ve heard there has been trouble with the current crop. I also hope the wait for the new crop of Rosnay Olive Oil won’t be too much longer but, as we know, Mother Nature will take her course. I spoke with our local supplier of fresh walnuts and he will be making a delivery in the next couple of weeks. I had an early taste of his windfalls and they were simply lovely.

Sultanas will also be back in stock this week. Sorry for the delay but we had to wait for the Australian crop to be harvested to get a fresh supply.
