We’re pretty lucky in South Australia that we have some amazing local produce. 1st Choice Fruit and Veg make it easy for us to access these amazing fruits and veggies, as well as some other locally made artisan products.

Team member Helen gave us some recommendations for what produce to choose over the next few months. “In summer, melons like watermelon and rockmelon are delicious. You should also try strawberries, blueberries and crunchy cucumber. When we move into Autumn, pears and apples are the way to go.”

People are always telling the team how much they love the amazing produce from 1st Choice, which she loves to hear. They’ve even had customers show her how they’ve put the fruits and veggies to use. “We had a customer bring in a jar of homemade chutney that was made from produce bought from the shop. It tasted so good!”

There’s so much fresh produce that it can be hard to choose where to start. So, we asked the team what they would pick if theycould only eat one product from 1st Choice for the rest of their life. Team member Helen says, “Wow, that’s a hard one. But I think tomatoes! They can be eaten many ways – fried baked, roasted, and more!”

And if you’re looking for some other products to try, hot tip: some of their most popular products include dried apricots, jarred goods and honeycomb.

So, if it’s fresh, local produce you’re after, make sure you visit the team at 1st Choice Fruit and Veg. Not only will you be able to get your hands on some delicious items, but you’ll also be supporting a family owned and operated business.
