Farmer Profile: Clare Harvey
MFH’s Grow / Source / Eat fruit and veg subscription scheme would not be possible without an array of passionate local VIC suppliers. We believe that it is important for our community to know more about where their food comes from, who grows it and the practices and...
Jess’s Roasted Cauliflower, Celeriac Puree + Garlic Greens
When we first got started with Grow / Source / Eat, we had a million and one ideas about the sort of food system we'd like to build and why it is so important to make it happen. Things like paying farmers fair prices, encouraging small producers to grow food in...
Behold celeriac – the king of ugly/delicious
Celeriac - the wonderful root famed for looking like Gordon Ramsey on a bad day and being awkward to pronounce. This winter treasure isn't what most people would call a staple (prefers to hang around for a good time, not a long time) but man were we excited when Days...
Lou’s winter radish recipes
It's winter in Melbourne and like it or not, we're all trapped inside again. While we've seen and sometimes felt the burden this brings, it also gives us the opportunity to slow down a little, spend time with our family or housemates (if we haven't lost our minds yet)...

Our First Broccoli of the Year (and our favourite ways to cook it)
The humble broccoli - #1 most hated vegetable for kids, #1 tastiest re-discovery as a grown up (obviously excluding Brussels sprouts here). Things we love about broccoli: - It looks like a great tree to sit under if you suddenly shrunk and needed to find some shade...
Green Tomatoes 101: How To Eat These Under-Appreciated Gems
Okay so when we think of green tomatoes, it's pretty hard to go past 'fried' as the initial word association. Leaving 90's films and southern cooking aside for a moment, these beauties offer much more culinary pleasure than you might think. It can be hard to seperate...
