Almost everything on the bench is WA-grown. We buy direct from the markets in the early hours and from named growers in Manjimup, Pemberton, Carnarvon and Donnybrook. When the WA season tapers off, we'll bring in eastern-states or imported fruit so the bench stays stocked, but the WA tray is always on first, and the price card will tell you what's what.

From the south-west,
up to Carnarvon.

Most of our produce travels less than 350 km. Carnarvon mangoes are the outlier, and worth the drive.

The growing regions

Five regions, named growers.

01 · Manjimup

No. 01

305 km south

Manjimup

Pink lady & royal gala apples · cherries · late peaches & nectarines · butterhead lettuce

The cool-climate orchards of Manjimup grow the apples we sell year-round and the late stone fruit that closes out summer. The leafy greens we get from a small Manjimup grower hold their structure for days, the difference between a 'salad' and 'wet leaves'.
02 · Pemberton

No. 02

335 km south

Pemberton

Yellow & white peaches · nectarines · plums · apricots

Peak peach and nectarine season runs out of Pemberton from December through January. The growers we buy from pick at full sugar, not for shelf-life, which is why ours go from firm to perfect in two days, not two weeks.
03 · Carnarvon

No. 03

900 km north

Carnarvon

Kensington Pride mangoes · honey gold mangoes · table grapes · melons · tomatoes

Mango season starts in Carnarvon. The Kensington Pride trays we put on the front bench in December usually came off the tree two days earlier. The honey golds follow in early January and run through February.
04 · Donnybrook

No. 04

210 km south

Donnybrook

Stone fruit · cherries · early apples

A smaller orchard region we buy from for early-season stone fruit and the first eating apples each year. Closer to Perth than Manjimup, so the truck times are tighter and the fruit lands fresher.
05 · Wanneroo & Gingin

No. 05

50–80 km north

Wanneroo & Gingin

Strawberries · seasonal vegetables · herbs

Our strawberry trays come from family-run patches in Wanneroo and Gingin from late winter through summer. Same growers most years; when something's been a hit one season, we go back to the same farm the next.
