Fig season has been slow to produce volume due to the cold nights and mornings, but they are sensational as always. Come and get yourself some of Gavin and Lisa’s figs, Lee is ready to help you.
And here’s Megan, who makes the amazing Buckshot Nougat & Panforte that we sell!! She’s a genius!
We love our customers! On the left is Erin, she has her own local vineyard in Steels Creek had just finished netting her grapes this week, and was looking forward to a yummy dinner made from YFF produce!
And on the right it’s all smiles from this fashionable trio who enjoyed a coffee on our patio.
Biggest news is the filming of our segment for Channel 9’s Postcards, which goes to air soon. We had a wonderful time with the crew and host Glen Moriarty on the day of the shoot, with smiles all around (spot the photo bomber!)
Yarra Farm Fresh on Ch9 Postcards

Frank’s Field Tomatoes
Hooray to Frank’s Field Tomatoes starting last week. The family were so busy out in the field we could not raise them on the phone to find out when they would start.
So Anita took a trip out to their farm and found them busy packing the tomatoes in the shed. It’s just such a wonderful thing to have the same family produce such a quality product every year. We have had Frank’s tomatoes since we opened the shop in 2007. They are the same year in and year out! That firm, peppery flavour is what we all look forward to every year!
Strawberries
Strawberries are in low volume at the height of summer, but their flavour is at the peak! This week I had the pleasure of picking up Eddie’s B Grade 500gm strawbs for only $3.99…..The smell in my car was just too good and I devoured a half kilo….well, they were the most flavoursome, sweet, unbelievable strawberries I have eaten all year. And that is saying something as Eddie’s Albion strawbs always taste great. Anita D, in the shop informs me this is the best time of the year for peak strawberry flavour!!
Raspberries
The Summer ‘Chilliwack’ raspberries are slowing down, though a new variety is coming! These will be available for you into May!
Blackberries
A new fresh variety of blackberries such as Chester are now available! Fresh Karaka blackberries have just finished, though you can still get these beautiful berries frozen.
Blueberries
It’s blueberry season and we have plenty of 500g packs available. Love these!
Figs we Dig!
