Yesterday’s vegie boxes had a nice little (actually rather large!) surprise - eggplants are back in some boxes, and others had gorgeous truss tomatoes.

If you’re after something simple for dinner, try this:
Slice the eggplant, brush with olive oil, roast until golden, then pile on chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil and a splash of balsamic. Warm, fresh, and ridiculously easy!

We’re looking for a Friday delivery driver!

Backyard Bounty needs a friendly, reliable human to help get our vegie boxes out into the world each Friday. You’ll be using our van, so a licence is essential, and being calm when things get busy definitely helps.

If you love fresh produce and a job that keeps you moving, we’d love to hear from you.

Remember to get your orders in by 10pm Sunday for delivery next Thursday or Friday (depending on suburb) 😀 🍎 🥬

Delivering the freshest Tasmanian produce to your door.

In this week's boxes you'll find espigalls (the tender flowering shoots of brassicas) - they’re sweet, nutty, quick‑cooking, and brilliant in a stir‑fry or tossed through pasta.

Plus organic apples (no nasties), and it’s the last week for broccoli, so make the most of those florets while they’re still at their winter best.

Some boxes had Maris Piper potatoes (perfect for roasting) while others featured Pink Eyes (and if you’re Tasmanian, you already know exactly what to do with those!).

Add in BIG juicy cherry tomatoes and plenty more seasonal goodness, and you’ve got a cracking box of Tassie produce!

Tasmanian Produce Challenge: Day 3

Breakfast at work (my other job). Apple and walnut muffin with Tassie h**p protein and Kindred Organics’ buckwheat flour. And a nice cup of Tasmanian green tea 😁

Tasmanian Produce Challenge: Day 2

I slept through breakfast but lunch was a very big bowl of yesterday’s left over salad with Kindred Organics’ quinoa mixed through. Dinner was a very tasty cauliflower and kale pie 🥧
I had some pastry left over so made apple danish for dessert ❤️

Tasmanian Produce Challenge — Meal 2
Tonight’s plate turned into a full three‑course celebration of Tassie goodness.

Course 1: Lightly fried coral tooth fungi with just a smidge of garlic and soy - delicate, savoury, and ridiculously good.
Course 2: Roasted parsnips and purple carrots… grown by me (cue smug look).
Course 3: Grilled baby cos topped with stir‑fried veg and a creamy white‑bean sauce.

Eating local has never tasted better.

Tasmanian Produce Challenge!
I’m challenging myself to eat predominantly Tassie produce for every meal over the next seven days - straight from our amazing growers to the plate. 🥦 🍏 🍅 🥬

What are you making with your box contents this week?

Meal 1: big colourful salad! (The only non-local ingredients are a small tin of corn and beans and a little balsamic vinegar in the dressing)

This week’s boxes had a bit of theatre in them - proper “pause and admire before you cook” moments.

The large Thursday boxes scored the show‑stoppers: coral tooth fungi, looking like something that should be glowing in a rainforest or hanging with colourful fish in tropical waters. They’re best treated simply - press them down a little, fry gently in olive oil and garlic, finish with a dash of soy and let them do their thing.

Friday’s large boxes didn’t miss out: a generous mix of shiitake and oyster mushrooms, perfect for tossing through noodles, risotto, or a quick pan fry.

Leeks are back (finally), ready for soups, tarts and pies. But celery has made its last appearance until January, so savour what’s left of it!

Plus all the regular goodness tucked in around the edges - crisp veg, fresh colour, and plenty to play with in the kitchen.
