Seasonal produce guide
Our guide to seasonal fruit and veg available in Victoria and Australia. Eat fresh, eat delicious, and celebrate the seasons!
Note: This guide indicates what is available from Victoria and Murray Region growers, as well as interstate. Availability also reflects farming and storage methods that extend the usual seasons - like local apples kept in cold storage once harvested.
Autumn
March - May
Autumn harvests bring some of our favourite fruit and fleeting gems we think about all year – sweet figs and grapes, fresh picked apples and pears, plus feijoas, persimmons and quince. Cook up a storm, make use of every glut, and preserve the excess while you can. Plus look out for fresh pink pistachios, and chestnuts too!

winter
June - August
A time for nourishing meals, zingy citrus full of vitamins, and sweet root vegetables that create their own sugars underground (nature’s DIY anti-freeze), making them all the more impressive and delicious. Winter is also brassica season where every cabbage-cousin has a staring role – think broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels, romanesco, wombok, kale and kohlrabi.
