ISSUE 57 — MAY 2021
What's in Season? You may have seen our Marketing and Comms Officer, Dee, and Videographer, Shravan, walking around the market every week to capture some exciting videos. The team has been focusing on ‘What’s in Season,’ where many wholesalers have been featured. These videos were posted on Fresh State’s social media pages and will continue throughout the year. So far, we’ve had Joe from L. A Produce introduce his stock of sweet and tasty Corn, which comes straight from the Grower in Whorouly near Bright. Joe’s Corn stock and others in the market will usually continue from April right through to September. Top cooking tip from Joe: Corn is excellent when cooked on the BBQ or steamed; it’s a great accompaniment to every meal! Tropical Queensland kicked off its Custard Apple season, which this year started as early as February. Peter from Produce of Virginia had a large stock of Custard Apples on display from Southern Queensland. The Grower in Glass House Mountains provides a sweet and juicy range of produce, a fantastic addition to your next fruit platter this Autumn.
Currently, what we can see in nearly every store in the market are Mandarins. Mandarins are available from April to October, and Imperials are the most popular mandarin variety. Jason from Ten Farms showed us their magnificent range of Imperial Mandarins that they currently have in the warehouse. The Grower in Gayndah, Queensland, provides a delicious stock to Ten Farms which don’t last long in stores before they’re all sold out! With so many different flavorsome produce on offer at the market, Fresh State has many more videos to come. Next up, you’ll see Dragon Fruits, Bananas, and Pineapples plus much more!
