Welcome to the Bondi Weekly Market Report — your go-to for what’s fresh, what’s fading, and what prices are on the move.

This week’s highlights include a wave of new local arrivals (hello, stone fruit season), Hatch’s mini canned coffees are hitting our shelves, and a few summer staples like English peas and favas starting to wind down.

We're also keeping an eye on a few tight-supply items. We also want to put on your radar that we’ll be closed on Monday, August 4th for the Civic Holiday. Be sure to plan ahead and adjust your orders leading up to the long weekend!

Let’s get into it.

📈 What’s Up? Heat waves, crop transitions, and tight freight are driving short-term price hikes across peppers, berries, tomatoes, and more — full breakdown below.

📉 What’s Down? Prices are trending down this week on cauliflower, yellow zucchini, daikon, and iceberg, with strong supply across the board and some regional quality variation.

🍑 New Local Arrivals: Summer flavours are hitting their stride — with Ontario sour cherries, apricots, and golden plums from Warner’s Farm, and ultra-crisp Barese cucumbers from Top Tomato all arriving fresh this week.

☀️ On the Horizon: Ontario field heirloom tomatoes and juicy Niagara peaches are just a week or two out!

❌ Delisted/Leaving Soon: English peas and fava beans are winding down for the season — supply is tight and quality is showing signs of starchiness.

☕️ New Specialty Grocery Additions: Hatch’s signature mini‑canned ready-to-drink coffees have arrived — smooth, bold, ethically sourced, and brewed in Markham with rare beans and zero bitterness. A grab‑and‑go, ready-to-drink coffee game‑changer!

🟥 Red Flags: A few supply bumps to keep on your radar. Plus, a handful of last week’s shortages are either back on track or still bouncing back. Read on for the full scoop.

🧀 Non-Produce Pick of the Week: Ontario-made Bella Casara Burrata — rich, creamy, and the ultimate summer upgrade for salads, boards, and stone fruit pairings as we dive into stone fruit season.

🚨 Upcoming Holiday Closure: Just a heads up that we will be closed on Monday, August 4th for the Civic Holiday. Regular business and deliveries will resume Tuesday, August 5th. Please adjust your orders accordingly. Thank you!

Market Recap: What's Up, What's Down

🌟New Local Arrivals🌟

It’s stone fruit season, baby!

Ontario Apricots, Sour Cherries & Golden Plums From Warner’s Farm | Code 2377, 7683 & 10727

We’ve got Warner’s Farm’s first harvest of apricots, sour cherries, and golden plums arriving TODAY!

• Apricots | Code 2377: Tender, fragrant, and bursting with that classic honeyed tang. These are picked at peak ripeness — perfect for roasting, poaching, or pairing with creamy cheeses.

• Sour Cherries | Code 7683: Tart little powerhouses that bring bold flavour to preserves, sauces, and cocktails. Their punchy acidity also plays beautifully in savoury apps and glazes.

• Yellow Golden Plums | Code 10727: Juicy, bright, and beautifully balanced with just the right hit of acidity. Ideal for quick preserves, desserts, grilled fruit salads, or plated alongside rich proteins like duck or pork.

Nestled in Beamsville, Niagara, Warner’s Farm is a third-generation orchard cultivating exquisite stone fruits with care and sustainability. Their stone fruits are a chef favourite for good reason, offering peak flavour from grill to galette to garnish.

Top Tomato Barese Cucumbers | Code 2387

Another chef favourite! Top Tomato Barese cucumbers are now available. Thicker, ridged, and ultra-crisp — Barese cucumbers bring serious crunch and a subtly sweet flavour. With their tender skin and minimal seed cavity, they’re ideal for shaving raw into salads, building texture into veg-forward plates, or quick-pickling for bright, punchy garnishes. A versatile staple with standout bite.

❌Delisted/Leaving Soon❌ 

• English Peas | Code 3659 — Winding down for the season — supply is tight, quality is mixed, and we're seeing some starchiness.

• Fava Beans | Code 2143 — Winding down for the season — supply is tight, quality is mixed, and we're seeing some starchiness.

🚩Red Flags🚩: Last Week's Supply & Quality Recap

Temporary Pause on Heartee Mushrooms

• Reminder that Heartee Mushrooms will be temporarily unavailable due to unforeseen issues on the supplier’s end. We will provide updates as soon as availability resumes.

2-Week Gap In Fig Supply

• We’re currently experiencing a gap in fig supply that’s expected to last about two weeks. We’ll keep you updated as soon as they’re back in stock.

B&W Farm Weather Impact - Watercress & Arugula Supply Alert 

• Our supplier B&W is still recovering from the severe storm that caused major crop losses last week. Order fulfillment will remain limited over the next week or so as they work to rebuild supply.

Last Week’s Shortages:

• Granny Smith Apples | Code 1922 — The shift from U.S. to Ontario supply caused some temporary disruptions, but availability has stabilized.

• Horseradish | Code 2576 — We're experiencing a short-term gap in horseradish supply.

• Shiitake Mushrooms | Code 2786 — High demand and slower growth from last week’s heat caused a brief shortage — now back in stock.

• Strawberry Purée | Code 8852 — Minor transport delay caused a brief shortage. Now fully restocked.

• Cream Cheese | Code 8106 — Temporarily short due to high demand — now fully restocked.

🧀 Non-Produce Pick of the Week 🧀 

Ontario Bella Casara Burrata | Code 6840

If summer had a cheese, this would be it. Made right here in Ontario, Bella Casara Burrata is rich, creamy, and basically built for hot days and stone fruit season.

Tear it over grilled peaches, spoon it onto some Lev Bakery crostini (Code 11134), or let it melt into a tomato salad — you really can’t go wrong. It’s a warm-weather MVP that makes any plate feel a little extra (in the best way).
