BROCCOLI


Always noted for its quality, Harvest Moon broccoli is unsurpassed in Australia for quality during summer and early autumn (January - April).  

 

The combination of fertile soils and a mild climate gives rise to Tasmania’s uniform growing conditions that are unique for Australia. The consequence is a plant that is rarely checked during its growth and allowing maximum development of flavour, texture and colour when harvested.

 

As with all of its vegetable lines, Harvest Moon has a complete quality programme to ensure Broccoli is subjected to the correct post-harvest care and packed to the highest standard to maintain quality longer.
