Offer valid until 31st October 2012FRUIT VEGETABLES Rawlings Quality Produce It s time to stand up and fight says Glen Rawlings from Rawlings Quality Produce in Mornington Village Shopping Centre who has taken up the challenge to support Local Aussie farmers.
We need to start looking after our own farmers as the supermarkets are only chasing cheap quality produce from Australian or overseas.
If we don t start buying local and Australian produce, its only time before they disappear.
I get furious when I see American Navels oranges in the supermarkets when there is an abundance of Aussie Valencia oranges fresh from Mildura.
Hence beautiful citrus trees are ploughed into the ground directly because of the imports.
It s true and happening now.
My passion is Australian made, grown, and owned fruit and vege s hence my commitment to opening this business...
Rawlings Quality Produce.
Unfortuanally fruiterers are a dying trade due to the competition from supermarkets and their constant brain washing to consumers that they are cheaper ., Family Owned Servicing the community for over 40 years Flexible Layby Gift Vouchers Largest range of Schleich Lego on the Peninsula 5975 4413 163 MAIN ST, MORNINGTON I can tell you without a lie, filling a basket from my store and a basket from a supermarket would work out the very similar in price, the only difference is that my produce would have been picked from the farm within 2 days making us super fresh and the best quality around.
This is a true family business with Glen's wife s family helping three times a week, the two mums running the stall at the Mornington Market and his father willing to hop in build the fittings and equipment for the shop.
Sisters, aunties and uncles all helping when needed.
The Peninsula is our home and we love to use the Peninsula produce, whether it s fresh produce or the lovely gourmet treats available.
When you enter their store they love to welcome you and help with any information about the produce they sell, have a laugh and help when needed to carry groceries to the car.
It s the way shopping used to be.
