Timpson Grapes

Timpson grapes are the green seedless stars of the season! With their mild muscat flavor, large berries, and vibrant bunches, they’re as delicious as they are eye-catching. Perfectly fresh and long-lasting, Timpson is a must-have for your fruit bowl.

Basil

Grown right here in the northern Adelaide Plains, fresh basil is the ultimate kitchen essential. Its vibrant aroma and bold flavour make it perfect for summer dishes, like a classic Caprese salad with Roma tomatoes and creamy bocconcini. Feeling adventurous? Basil pairs surprisingly well with strawberries, adding a unique twist to your desserts. It is also packed with goodness—known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, it’s a fresh way to boost your health while elevating your meals.

Vine-Ripened Tomatoes

Vine-ripened tomatoes are picked at the perfect moment, just as they begin to turn red. Keeping them attached to the vine ensures they ripen naturally, delivering a burst of flavour with every bite. Try them in a simple caprese salad, where their rich, juicy taste shines through with just a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh basil.

Figs

SA Fig season runs from January to April, our local growers are still supplying plenty of this sweet, versatile fruit. Figs bring an incredible depth of flavour, whether paired with cheese, featured in a decadent dessert, or adding a touch of sweetness to your next salad. Grown right here in South Australia, these figs are a true taste of the season that shouldn’t be missed!
