This was sitting on my doorstep Thursday evening when the girls and I got home from Fathers Evening at PreSchool. My box of fruity (and veggie) goodness.
More interesting than the outside of the box is the contents:
How scrummy does that look! And all fresh from the farm, real dirt and all. 
So what did I get for my $35AU?
4 x Pears
3 x Sundowner Apples
3 x Granny Smith Apples
3 x Bananas
3 x Carrots
1 x Pineapple Gold
6 x Brushed Potato (big ‘uns)
1 x Broccoli
3 x Brown Onions
1/2 Cabbage (in the plastic bag)
3 x Murcott Mandarins
1 x Red Onion
4 x Tomatoes
3 x Oranges
1 x Strawberry Punnet
1 x Sweet Potato
1 x Japanese Pumpkin
I’ve got some great recipe ideas percolating, can’t wait to get cooking.
Now for confession time.
Today I threw out 2 pears from last weeks box. They had not been eaten and disintegrated into mush in our fruit bowl. 
Still have half a bunch of celery from last weeks box to use and some potato but that is no problem.

Maybe instead of sending an apple to the teacher, you can send a couple of pears……..

Pingback by Snack Box « Aussie Farmers Direct Challenge September 5, 2008 @ 3:30 pmWe get slightly different contents to you, despite being so close (we get suburb-to-the-south-of-us contents!) So far – not one single bunch of celery in *any* box. I think I may actually have to go and buy some soon, I miss my celery crunch
Comment by Melanie September 5, 2008 @ 11:10 pmMel – Interesting that we get a different selection. I will remember you next time we get celery.
