Seasonal & market

What's in season, and when

Our buyers are at the market six mornings a week. This is the twelve-month picture they work to — so you can plan menus around produce at its best rather than its dearest.

Twelve-month produce calendar

Typical Victorian availability. Seasons shift with weather and growing region, so treat this as a planning guide rather than a guarantee.

In season now — August

Produce at its best quality and value this month. Good places to build a menu around.

Vegetables at their peak

BroccoliCauliflower Brussels sproutsLeek PumpkinParsnip SwedeSilverbeet

Brassicas and root vegetables are eating well and buying cheaply — the strongest value on the floor right now.

Fruit at its peak

Navel orangeMandarin GrapefruitKiwifruit Pink Lady appleNashi pear

Citrus is at its best of the year. Navels are sweet with good juice yield; imported berries are expensive and worth skipping.

Herbs & specialty

RosemaryThymeSage WitlofRadicchio Jerusalem artichoke

Hardy herbs are strong through winter. Bitter chicories are excellent and under-ordered this time of year.

Coming into season over the next month: asparagus, rhubarb, early broad beans and Victorian strawberries. Worth planning menu changes around now.
