The post and the present edition. Post-Easter, post-summer, post-berries. Present activities, present market, present season. There is no denying it any longer, it's getting cold. T-shirt weather is a distant memory for us at Harvest and it's time to say goodbye to...
The Good Friday Edition: Hot cross bun controversy, trade networks and the inevitable stay v's go chat. Easter in Launceston is a funny old time, many people arrive but many also flee. Autumn so far has been delightfully sunny and mild, so folks heading for thier...
It's April Fool's (if you're into that), Autumn progress, plus spuds, pork, lilies, condiments, truffle things, and hot cross buns! We're not into practical jokes, they almost invariably tend toward the mean-spirited. April Fool's jokes like this one from the BBC...
An exciting new supplier, a follow-up, 'world' gelato day, and some exciting appearances at Harvest. Yeesh. At time of writing the conditions in the office at Harvest, and in the great outdoors certainly indicate nothing other than the strong continuation of the...
WANDERLUST RETURNS! So exciting we had to go with all-caps. Plus, the Tomato and Garlic Festival, a chip pitch, Psychs on Bikes and an animate compost HEAP. Feast or famine, right? In literal terms, there is always a feast at Harvest. Figuratively though, sometimes...
Autumn is coming into full swing, life on the farm, a monthly appearance at Harvest, and three notable absences. Autumn means pumpkins in the field offices at Harvest. Which is to say, the farms and kitchens around Tasmania. There is always somewhere new to see in...
It's all about love, value, and respect this week, plus bulbs, apples, re-appearances and another newsletter-at-large It is officially Autumn and we're still not quite at peak tomato, it's been a late season. You can expect the likes of squash, pumpkins, eggplants,...
A very special recipe, monthly appearances, a seasonal sweet treat, and a new family member. Not a literal live birth, a new stallholder. More on that later. For now, suffice to say that everyone's feet are back on terra firma and minds on the reality of this working...
A newsletter-at-large, ABLED Kitchen, MONA FOMA SOMA, Soggy Bottoms, long goodbyes and a solo debut. When it rains, it pours. Not literally this week, the forecast is good, and that's not what we're talking about. Fair warning here, this newsletter will contain very...
Notable returns and absences, festival washups, and MONA FOMA coming up but no news is good news at Harvest. With a soggy week 5 in the bag, and a much finer week 6 rapidly approaching, we're wasting no time in getting stuck in this week at Harvest. With plenty of...
Keeping it short and sharp this week! A fond farewell to brownies, a couple of welcome backs, late-season cherries and heavy recovery at Harvest. With so much - almost too much - going on this week at Harvest and around the state, we're keeping this one short and...
Officially the last week for apricots and cherries at Harvest. Plus, a surprise return, California dreaming (not really) and thank god I'm a country boy (also not really). Life on a farm is kinda laid back, and there isn't much that an old country boy can't hack....
