Organic Farmers Market - South of Melbourne Victoria / All About Apples

Walking around the communal garden in south of Melbourne on sunday morning was an amazing lucid experience. The garden itself has so much character and vibrant energy... tons of fruit trees, herb gardens, pumpkins, eggplants etc... and not to far from communal Garden is the Organic Farmers Market... where you can just walk around and eat all the testers and enjoy talking to the local farmers who are so passionate about their products and lifestyle choices... a place where I strongly recommend if you are in Melbourne Victoria.

However, for me it was all about apples... organic picnic apples to green apples... just apples and more apples... and here's all you need to know about APPLES

Sunny Herb Days: Basil, Thyme & Coriander

Ever since I remember growing up, we always had a big bowl of herbs on the table to accommodate other dishes. I remember my mother coming back from her herb shopping days and spend hours on the kitchen floor spreading different kinds of herbs on white cotton sheets and cleaning them with a happy smile on her face. I called them Sunny Herb Days

Grapefruit, my Favourite

Fine & Raw Chocolate

 
Today I received the most delectable raw chocolate bonbons that I have ever tasted in a long time. I ordered these treats from Fine & Raw Chocolate for them to be reviewed on Shiitake Blog. What great timing for their delivery as well. What else would you want in the mail when coming back home from running up and down steps!

Amber Colored and Naturaly Sweet thing called Honey

 
This wonderfully rich golden liquid is the miraculous product of honey bees and a naturally delicious alternative to white sugar. Although it is available throughout the year, it is an exceptional treat in the summer and fall when it has just been harvested and is at its freshest. Lets have a closer look at this wonderful thing called Honey!

The Bright Shiny Red Heart Shaped Fruits Called Strawberries

 
As a child I remember going strawberry picking with my dad, sister and my brother in New Zealand. It was always a real treat when my dad said to us that we could eat as many as we like, we sure did stuff ourselves. The most beautiful part for me now is the smell. The smell of strawberries always brings me back to my childhood and those precious moments shared. Strawberries are not only gorgeous to look at but they also have a refreshing spring smell. Besides these qualities, below you can find more information about these red beauties:
