CAUTION: PRODUCT ALERT
Warmer weather has seen Zucchini’s prices sky rocket as supply is not keeping up with demand. melons, Cucumbers, and good summer Lettuces stocks will start to pick up, which should see a drop in prices on these lines. Strawberry supply and quality have started to drop off and prices will increase until our local fruit starts in about a month, Lemons are still very expensive. We would also like to remind everyone that over the holiday period we will be open and delivering every day! On behalf of us all in the Pezzano family we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! We thank you for your support and look forward to working with you all in 2019!

KIWI FRUIT: With the New Zealand fruit has now finished. Supply will remain short for the next month until we start to see the imported Kiwis from Italy and the US. What is available now will also be expensive, and a little green.
APPLES: With the approach of summer the W.A supply of Apples/Pears always takes a hit, with better than expected sales over winter, supply will this year be low with no respite expected before we get into our new season fruit in March next year. Supply is not keeping up with demand and prices on all both will continue to rise.
MUSHROOMS: Supply on Buttons and Cups have jumped in price again as supply shortens up. Fields & Portobellos are still in short supply and expensive, but this should change late December.
ASPARAGUS: Our local season has now come to an end with only Victorian Asparagus now available. While the quality is still good, it is more expensive due to demand and freight costs. This season will run for approximately 4 weeks then we will need to switch to imported Asparagus
SUGAR SNAPS/SNOW PEAS: While supply has improved due to the start of our local season prices on both these lines have jumped up considerably.
LETTUCE LINES: Iceberg and Cos are both in good supply, but there are some growers who have had problems with slime in the hearts of the Iceberg. While we do quality check all our produce, this is something that is difficult to detect. We also see a rise in insects through the washed lines this time of year, remember to rinse & inspect before use.
STRAWBERRIES: Our local/Southwest season will start to wind down as we head towards Jan, the quality will drop away for a few weeks but will pick up again late Jan.
STONEFRUIT: With the warmer weather, we will start to see more and more of our local stone fruit hit the market, prices will come down as supply improves, with this year’s crop predicted to be a good season.
MANGOS: Local fruit in good supply quality and price very good now is the time to buy!
AVOCADOS: It has been a crazy year for Avocado growers with the demand throughout Australia well outstripping supply. This has had a dramatic effect on prices over the last few months. While we have had a flush of fruit over the last few weeks.
MELONS: Watermelon is in good supply with the local season starting, while our market price on this line is controlled by demand from the Eastern states pricing will fluctuate over the month while quality will remain good.
