Daintree Gateway Fruit Stall

From Mum’s garden to our fruit stall! ❤️🌺

These beautiful rosellas were freshly picked from Mum’s garden and turned into delicious homemade Rosella Jam.

If you’ve never tried rosella before, it has a gorgeous sweet-tart flavour that’s perfect on fresh bread (sourdough omggg), scones, or even with cheese.

Made in small batches using fresh local rosellas, it’s one of those special seasonal treats that won’t last long!

Pop into our Daintree Gateway Fruit Stall and grab a jar while they’re available. Supporting local has never tasted so good! 🌺🍓

🎶 Let Me Blow Your Mind 🎶

This little fruit stall is hard work… but it’s also my safe place.

Honestly, your support keeps us going.

Can we all take a minute to admire the newest member of the team… my fancy new fruit cart! 😂 After dragging around the old one with its busted wheels while nursing a fractured shoulder, bursitis and a body that occasionally feels held together by hope and Panadol… this thing feels downright luxurious!!

We’ve also been loving reading all the little messages you’ve been leaving in the honesty box. They’ve made us laugh, smile and reminded us why we do this.

…Except for the letter from the government. Apparently some miserable bu**er dobbed us in for selling our neighbour’s beautiful organic eggs. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So, no more eggs for now.

But we’ve still got plenty of tropical goodness waiting for you:
🥭 Passionfruit
🍈 Soursop
🖤 Black Sapote (the chocolate pudding fruit!)
🍍 All your fresh fruit salad favourites
…and lots more local produce.
JAMS JAMS! Don’t forget the JAMS! 🤣

Winter has arrived in the Daintree, and it’s a beautiful time of year to visit.

The days are warm, the skies are clear, and life feels pretty good up here.

Our new Daintree Gateway Fruit Stall is stocked with all your tropical favourites — fresh local fruit, frozen fruit, dried mango, dried black sapote, and our range of freeze-dried treats including passionfruit, mango and pineapple.

Whether you’re grabbing something for the week, looking for a healthy snack for the road, or stopping in on your way through the Daintree, we’d love to see you.

Fresh local produce, tropical flavours, and a little taste of the Daintree.

Local Call Out 📣

Have you got fruit on your trees that’s going to waste?

We’re always looking to buy locally grown fruit for the Daintree Gateway Fruit Stall. If you’ve got extra mandarins, oranges, bananas, tropical fruit, or anything else that’s in season, we’d love to hear from you.

We pay wholesale prices and believe in keeping both our food and our dollars circulating within the local community. Whether it’s a few buckets from your backyard or a larger harvest, we’re happy to have a chat.

Send us a private message with what you’ve got available.

And if you know someone with fruit trees who might be interested (kids pocket money?), we’d really appreciate you sharing this post. Every bit of local produce we can source helps support local growers and keeps fresh, local fruit available for everyone.

❤️🙏🏽

You would t believe my luck today!

Lisa Millar walked into the Daintree Gateway Fruit Stall because she’d seen one of my reels on social media and wanted to know more for ABC’s Back Roads.

What the actual BEEEP?! 😂

One minute I’m stacking fruit and talking rubbish on Instagram, the next I’m being interviewed by one of Australia’s best storytellers.

And can we talk about the crew? Absolutely bloody legends. The whole team was warm, genuine, curious, and up for a laugh. They might be city folk, but honestly, you’d never know it… easily mistaken as locals. No airs and graces, just good humans who were genuinely interested in our little patch of paradise.

It’s easy to forget sometimes that what feels normal to us here in the Daintree is actually pretty special. Today was a nice reminder of that.

A social media reel leading to a visit from Lisa Millar and the Back Roads crew was definitely not something I saw coming, but I’m so glad it happened.

Still buzzing. Still slightly in disbelief. And yes, I may have fan-girled just a little bit.

Watch this space! 🍍🥭🌴

Fresh in store this week at Gateway Fruit Stalls FNQ — some incredible tropical fruits that are a little bit unique and definitely worth trying! 🌿🥭

🖤 Black Sapote
Often called the “chocolate pudding fruit,” Black Sapote has a soft, rich texture when fully ripe and a naturally sweet flavour that reminds many people of chocolate mousse or caramel pudding. Don’t let the green skin fool you — inside is a dark, creamy fruit packed with Vitamin C and fibre. Delicious eaten fresh with a spoon, blended into smoothies, or added to desserts.

💚 Soursop
Soursop is a tropical fruit with soft white flesh and a sweet tangy flavour often described as a mix between pineapple, strawberry, and citrus. It’s juicy, refreshing, and commonly enjoyed in smoothies, juices, or eaten fresh. Loved across tropical regions for generations, it’s also rich in antioxidants and Vitamin C.

💛 Abiu
Abiu is a beautiful tropical fruit with smooth yellow skin and soft, creamy flesh inside. Its flavour is often compared to vanilla custard or crème caramel, with a delicate sweetness that makes it perfect eaten chilled straight from the spoon. Refreshing, unique, and packed with Vitamin C.

All locally grown and available now in limited quantities at Gateway Fruit Stalls FNQ 🌴🍍
Pop in and try something new while they’re in season!

Thanks so much for all the shares, comments, messages, and support following my video. It’s sparked a really important conversation around community values, trust, and respect — because honesty systems only work when people choose to do the right thing.

Also a big thank you to .mason.9847 from Mayson’s Cafe for kindly donating fruit to help restock the stall. Legends like this are what community is all about.

This Easter long weekend, we did something that felt really important — we crossed the Daintree River ferry and headed into the World Heritage–listed Daintree Rainforest 🌿

For weeks, this beautiful community has been cut off due to relentless weather, with limited access and very few visitors making the journey across. And while the road (and ferry!) might be open again, the impact on local families and small businesses is still very real.

So we packed up, made the trip, and chose to spend our time — and our money — right here.

Because supporting local isn’t just a nice idea… it’s how communities recover. Every coffee, every meal, every little purchase goes directly back into the hands of the people who live, work, and care for this incredible place.

And honestly? It was magic. The rainforest is alive, thriving, and absolutely worth the trip.

If you’ve been thinking about heading up — this is your sign. Go the extra mile. Cross the river. Stay local. Spend local.

Because when we do that, our communities don’t just survive — they grow 🌱
