HEIRLOOM apples are maturing just beyond the Blue Mountains and soon Granny Smith will be in the ute heading to Orange for the annual apple harvest. From Borry Gartell&#8217;s and Gaye Stuart-Nairne&#8217;s Mount Canobolas orchard and vineyard last year we collected the wonderful Cox&#8217;s Orange Pippin, Lady of The Snows, Crofton, Lord Lambourne, Five Crown, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WE&#8217;VE been asked recently for a few foods that are out of season. The first was a request for apples. Organic apples aren&#8217;t as industrially treated  &#8211; waxed and cold-stored &#8211; as conventional apples tend to be, so are much more seasonal. Lucky us for when they&#8217;re in season&#8230;but not yet: those little green apples [...]]]></description>

You may remember that we had a delightful surprise at the end of Granny Smith Natural Food Market&#8217;s first summer of trading when we received a generous haul of heirloom apples from Orange. In 2003 our store was reviewed in The Sydney Morning Herald&#8217;s &#8216;Good Living&#8217; guide. The review was seen by Borry and Gaye [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
BEES pollinate up to 90 per cent of the world&#8217;s food crops. Without them, most of the foods we eat would disappear. Basically, we&#8217;d starve. So the ongoing issue about the dieback of bees in many countries should be ringing alarm bells  loudly in our ears.
The increasing use of mobile telephones and the subsequent rise [...]]]></description>

WITH a State Government slating great chunks of north-west and south-west Sydney for urban development, we are in trouble. How do we feed ourselves when the farmland is gone? There is an assumption upon which such development relies that there will always be food available from somewhere, even from abroad. Many are beginning to question [...]]]></description>

Regulations against its sale for human consumption are clear and our government has determined that its ingestion is potentially dangerous. We sell both types of milk here, though [...]]]></description>
