I've been using "Harvest Hub" for fruit and veg in the last 4 weeks on a friend's recommendation. I like that fact that it's a community co-op that buy fresh produce in bulk and in season. The produce has been good. A couple of the mandarins last week were dry (nothing beats our own on the tree!) and some of the potatoes seemed a bit old the week before. Generally speaking, most things were nice and fresh. You don't know what'll be in the bag so it's a surprise every time. The varieties had been great. The small bag ($17) has been sufficient in covering our weekly consumption of fruit and veg. It saves a lot of money because I go to the shops less often.
The picture shown here was last weeks bag. It had silverbeet, cauiflower, sweet potato, beans, grapes and rockmelon, among other things.
In this week's bag, there are:
6 small potatos, a small head of brocolli, 1/4 purple cabbage, 2 large carrots, 2 tomatoes, 2 onions, a small turnip, a bunch of corriander, a small avocardo, 3 pears, 3 mandarins, 2 oranges, 4 kiwi fruit, 1/2 pineapple, 6 apples (red varieties). The small bag will increase in price to $20 next week but it's still good value for money I think.
