Welcome to HomeFresh News!

You still have a few days left if you'd like to place an order for one of our delicious hampers. Take the last minute rush out of gift buying and get them something you know they'll use and enjoy!

Christmas Shopping...

Order your groceries and fruit and vegetables online for the Christmas and New Year break and avoid the hassle of overcrowded shopping centres and irate shoppers dashing for that elusive car parking space!  The countdown to Christmas is busy enough, who needs the extra stress??

We will be taking internet orders until 4pm on Monday 22nd December for delivery on Tuesday 23rd December. 

Our office will still be open on the 24th but there will be no deliveries that day.  This gives us time to make sure that everything is set before we take a break until Monday 5th January 2009.

Our retail outlet in Kenmore will continue to trade through the Christmas and New Year period, closing only for public holidays and Sundays.
 

Meat Availability

Our meat suppliers have advised us that there will be no meat available for purchase after Friday 19th December until the New Year.  So if you want to order meat, get your orders in before 4pm on Thursday 18th December.
 

Special Requests?

Need a whole tray of mangoes?  Or perhaps you need a box of blackberries?

If there is something special that you'd like to order but aren't sure whether we can help, give us a call on 3715 5381 and we'll see what we can do.

 

What's Fresh?


Our stonefruit boxes are back!! 

These popular fruit hamper boxes make a wonderful  healthy treat or gift.  Lets face it with all the over-indulging that seems to go with Christmas, its great to have fresh fruit on hand to refresh your palette and redeem your waistline!

 

Turkey Tips 

There are many turkey disaster stories around.  We've put together some tips that will help you get it right on the day:

  • depending on the size it can take up to 2 days to defrost a turkey in the fridge if it was frozen when you bought it - allow approximately 24 hours per 2-3kg to thaw in the refrigerator
  • avoid any turkey labelled as 'prebasted' - its code for injecting it with all sorts of extras you don't want or need
  • a 4-5kg turkey will feed 8-10 people
  • a 3kg buffe - breast fillets on the bone - will feed 8-10 people
  • as the breast meat always cooks fastest when cooking a whole bird, slice this off when its done and return the turkey to the oven to finish off the rest.
