From today's The Sydney Morning Herald...🍅🫛🫚🍊
"Eating seasonally has always been about flavour, but with fuel costs on the rise, it’s also one of the simplest ways to keep your grocery bills in check. 'If you want to save money, be flexible and stick to what’s in season,' says Eden Fanelli, a fourth-generation farmer from Fanelli Organics, who also runs a stall at Carriageworks Farmers Market in Sydney.
'The impact of higher diesel prices is falling hardest on supermarkets, which rely on bulk produce, often shipped long distances from inland or interstate growers.
'By contrast, locally grown fruit and vegetables sold at farmers’ markets travel shorter distances and can offer better value.' "
Thanks Eden for highlighting the fact that short supply chains, ie paddock > plate via local farmers' markets offer reliable, practical and healthy solutions in our increasingly unsure world.
