Kelly Bros Fresh Produce

I love to cook with fresh produce and nothing beats picking some herbs or vegies out of the garden to use for lunch or dinner. Obviously you can't grow everything and that's where having a good relationship with your local fruit shop is so important. They will know where the food you are eating comes from and ensure that it is fresh. The problem with buying fruit and veg from the supermarket is that some of it can be up to a year old and kept in cold storage. Not really what you want, when so much of the nutritional quality is lost.

There are times, however when you might be super busy with work and other events and getting to the shops can be a bit difficult. Fresh food delivery services are just what you need when life gets hectic, to make sure that you still have plenty of fresh, healthy food to add to your pantry staples.

I was lucky enough to try the Kelly Bros fruit and veg delivery this morning. We were given a $28 box for two people, and what value for money and beautiful produce we received! Certainly more than enough for two. The other options are the medium box for three people at $38 or the large box for four people at $45.

Our box was waiting out the front this morning at 7am and I couldn't wait to open it up and see what we got. The stunning array of fruit and veg included bananas, nectarines, apples, potatoes, kale, radishes, baby carrots, zucchini, parsley, spring onion, iceberg lettuce, truss tomatoes and salad onions.

Everything was in great condition and super fresh. Now the only thing to decide is what to cook with it all!

Tonight we had some of the zucchini, chargrilled in a salad with rocket from the garden and parmesan cheese. Tomorrow night I'm thinking of making san choy bau, and using crisy iceberg lettuce cups to wrap up the tasty pork and spring onion filling. I think a tabouli might be on the menu in the next few days too.

Any other suggestions for my vegies would be much appreciated.   I'm going to have to do some research on the radishes, because I've never really been much of a fan. Maybe I'll be converted!

Kelly Bros - Farm to You are a family business who have been farming fresh produce for 150 years. They have access to 2000 acres of market gardens in Yarrawonga on the Murray and near Cranbourne, on the outskirts of Melbourne. All produce is picked, packed and delivered within 36 hours, so you know that what you receive is of the highest quality. Being seasonal, you will only receive what's currently growing and not something that has been imported from elsewhere.

Delivery occurs on Monday and Thursday and usually happens between 2am and 7am, so when you wake up and step outside on your delivery day, a box of goodness and sunshine will be waiting. You don't need to worry about produce sitting in the sun all day and becoming ruined. You can also choose to have deliveries weekly, fortnightly or just as a once off, so no need to worry about getting roped into something you don't really want.

I would definitely use this service again, particularly when I'm busy and just don't have the time or energy to trek to the shops with the kids in tow. Such beautiful produce and great service, it really is a wonderful option.
