Last of the summer veg
We still have a small supply of summer vegetables:
Tomatoes: colourful heirloom and heritage varieties that taste as good as they look.
French beans: sweet, delicate and tasty stringless beans. They won’t last much longer though!
Chillies: grab them now while they’re in season, and freeze or dry them so you have them at hand to warm up your winter.
Healthy salads
Healthy lunches (and dinners) are easy with fresh, yummy lettuces from Leaf Produce.
Our lettuces are grown in the ground for extra flavour – and you can taste the difference over hydroponic lettuces. Only natural sprays have been used.
As well as crisp, sweet cos lettuces we have a selection of fancy lettuces – come to the Leaf Produce stall at The Old Packhouse Market nice and early for the best selection!
If you’re super quick, you might even be able to grab some rocket – but hurry, this always sells out quickly.
Vegetables
Radishes make a colourful and crunch addition to a salad. Our are freshly picked, grown with only natural sprays, and really yummy. $2 a bunch.

Hot herbal tea
The days are getting cooler, so grab a warming cup of hot herbal tea from the Leaf Produce stall at The Old Packhouse Market!
I’m experimenting with flavours and seasonal goodies. The tea menu right now is:

… made from our homegrown herbs.
$3 a cup, or save 50 cents if you bring your own cup. You’ll be happy to know that our takeaway cups, lids, stirrers, etc. are all 100% compostable and don’t contain any plastic. Most are made from by-products in the food industry.
How to buy:
If you can’t make it to the market, you can still buy from me. Email me [cornelia@fxmarketing.co.nz] with:
1. The items you’d like (you can see what’s in season here).

I’ll then confirm availability, and the price (to be paid cash on collection).
