What’s in season? April brings out the best in winter veg

You can find a huge range of potatoes in all varieties from our stallholders Harrison & Sons, B&S Fresh Produce, Dilliro Vegetables, Deua River Farm Produce, Ingelara, Kurrawong Organics, Loriendale Orchard, Melissa Pure Fresh Honey, Gleann na Meala and Wei Rong Guo. Pumpkins are also coming in strong and can be found at Harrison & Sons, B&S Fresh Produce, Dilliro Vegetables, Auddino’s Produce, Deua River Farm Produce , Gleann na Meala, Greenhill Farm, Ingelara, Loriendale Orchard,  Melissa Pure Fresh Honey, Wei Rong Guo, Windellama Organics, Wollondilly Produce and Young District Stone Fruit. Ever tried a spaghetti squash? This interesting savoury fruit ranges from ivory to yellow or orange in colour and gets its name because when cooked, the flesh peels away from the fruit in strands just like spaghetti. You can find them right now at Deua River Farm Produce. Another one on the interesting list is the Jerusalem Artichoke –  strangely actually a species of sunflower, these tubers contain little starch and are rich in the carbohydrate inulin, and have an underlying sweet taste. You can find these beauties at Gleann na Meala while stocks last.
