Food For Thought – 14th January 2016

Posted on January 14, 2016 Updated on January 14, 2016

Raspberries
Recent wild weather in Melbourne has resulted in the Spirit of Tasmania II breaking free from its moorings, damaging Melbourne’s Station Pier Port. Subsequently, this has halted all un-loadings at the dock while work commences to repair damage to the Pier. 80% of the Sydney markets Raspberry supply is currently on board. Subsequently, we may face an acute shortage over the next few days until supplies resume. We recommend substituting with Blueberries or Strawberries until we can guarantee supply.

Australia Day
T&F All States would like to advise customers that we will be closed on Tuesday 26th January ’16 for the Australia Day Public Holiday. Normal trade will resume on Wednesday 27th January ’16. We ask that all orders for Salads & Cooked Vegetables be placed by 2pm Monday 25th January’16 for delivery Wednesday 27th January ’16. If you have any special requirements during this period, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team or your account manager. We wish you a safe and enjoyable holiday and take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.
