Fat Beets Food Hub

19/06/2026

Do you love having the chance to eat produce that comes from nearby to where you live?

This is pretty much what Fat Beets is all about - creating a link between the talented growers and producers of our local region and broader Tassie, and the people in our community who want to support those folk while eating well!

Sunday is World Localisation Day - a day to celebrate and consider shortening the distance between producers and consumers. It’s about noticing what we have on our doorstep, and embracing and celebrating it so that it doesn’t disappear!

Fat Beets couldn’t exist without a community of caring, engaged people - our growers and makers, our customers, and our volunteers, who come together with a shared appreciation for all things local.

Pop in and see us at the shop front today - we are there from 10am - 1pm, keen to chat and celebrate everything great about this way of eating!

We have pumpkins galore this week! Red Kuri which are small and nutty, the Queensland grey, the Flat White Boer from the butternut family, and the quirky and decorative Jack Be Little - perfect for a table centrepiece or shelf adornment in place of flowers!

Organic kipfler and Dutch cream spuds are available, alongside plenty of greens - Pak choi, kohl rabi, broccoli, fennel, and an array of cabbage varietals… the shop is rich with local goodness ready for you to order and enjoy.

Orders close at 5pm Wednesday - don’t miss out!

Have you ever cooked floppy old vegies you didn't want to waste, but worried that they held no nutrition for your family? Don't fret. A study from the Uni of California (Cefola et al 2015) has shown that anti-oxidant levels go up in vegies stored for a week or two, even though they are yellowing and looking poorly. This makes perfect sense to a plant physiologist: vegies in the fridge go floppy, meaning that the cells are drought stressed, and they will have to make anti-oxidants to save themselves. So if your food budget is tight or you just don't like throwing out food, you can feel better that your floppy old vegies are still doing you some good.

🥖 This week we have some different loaves from Lisa at Coastal Kitchen. Try the anything but ‘plain’ sourdough, made with a blend of stoneground whole rye and white bakers flour, or branch out and give the sunflower, pumpkin and sesame loaf a go. If you like your bread with additions, have a try of the olive loaf, or the spiced fruit loaf - they all sound delicious to us! Baked in the wood fire in Eaglehawk Neck - yum. 🔥

Orders close today at 5pm - see you on the weekend!
