Week Two

Hello there,

Well yes here we are at week two! It really is so nice to know that we are supported within the community!!

This week while chatting in the streets we have been offered a Ute to help with deliveries, houses and shops as drop off locations, friends from our mothers groups sticking up notes to spread the word...hurrah for nice folk!!

This week Grace 7 (Spikes sister) headed to the market at 4 in the morning to help with selecting this week produce. Grace selected the Oranges and commented while eating one that "they aren't just good they are delicious" I would have to agree! Have you tasted yours? 

In the Box this week:

Carrots

Kiwi

Cabbage

Pumpkin

Apple

Banana

Avocados

Beetroot

Celery

Tomatoes

Oranges

Each week we also add a herb for you to be creative with. This week we added Thyme. How do you like to cook with Thyme.

We would also like to send out an invitation to you to come and join "The Patch" a little community garden that we have started with the residents at the corner of Park and Stafford Streets. You may have noticed the Scarecrow and Scarebaby in your travels.

We would love for Abbotsford Wooden Box folk to come and join us in the Garden. Send us and email if you are keen to meet and perhaps we could make a time for everyone to get together so that we can then put a face to a name and get planting!!

For this week thank you!

We feel very happpy indeed.

Love

Brooke and Katrina.

Our First Day

Hello there...

What an exciting day it was for us.

We were up early and off to the market to buy the first produce to go into our very first delivery of Abbotsford Wooden Boxes. 

All of our produce is purchased from the Organic Wholesale Market

It's quite an amazing space. 750 forklifts zooming around moving kgs and kgs of produce while we are asleep.

After connecting with the growers we headed back fed the babies and got to work.

We sipped dandelion tea while we packed the boxes and added some personal touches such as Herb of the Week and also some Receipe ideas for a not so well know vegetable, the Jerusalem Artichoke.

This weeks boxes were filled with:

Leeks

Mushrooms

Potatoes

Jerusalem Artichokes

Fennel

Silver Beet

Pumpkin

Cauliflower

Purple Cabbage

Apples

Kiwi

Strawberries

and Bananas

Katrina delivered the boxes this week while Scout played with Blinks the Cat and Spike slept soundly.

Once all jobs were complete we headed to Lakmi (a Sri Lankan restaurant) and were treated to a surprise Crab Curry from Asanka.

We would like to thank you all for supporting us and for your feedback so far. We have taken them on board and aim to make some changes. 

Watch this space as we will have weekly updates (maybe more) about what the sun and soil sprout for the community.

But for now THANK YOU! It's a great feeling in knowing that we have begun connecting with our community.
