Thank You
We would like to extend a big thank you to all involved in the Market in Rainbow on Saturday. We had excellent sales, met a lot of new customers and had a great many conversations with existing customers, friends and other stall holders. Thank you to the organisers, volunteers and all the vendors for attending. We look forward to attending more markets in other towns once we have a permanent cool room trailer available.

Notes From The Garden
As you can see from the photo we have green tomatoes on the vines and they will be ripe soon enough. Look forward to a lot of tomatoes from us this season. We have just entered a Root Week in the Lunar Calendar and this will be a particularly busy week. We have a large bed to Broadfork and plant with Ginger and Turmeric and our Garlic Harvest is ready to be cropped out. Garlic requires drying and curing for long term storage and we will be offering garlic for sale after the curing process is finished.
The latest Sunshine Salve is ready! Our new jars are 2.5 x the size of our previous jars so we have raised the price but increased the value for money. There are less than 20 available this time around as we are reserving quite a bit for our growing family. The larger jars will last a very long time, likely more than a year for most people.
A reminder that some of our range is limited so please get your orders in quickly to secure your desired organic vegetables.
This week the Garden is providing Eggs, Butterhead Lettuce, Rainbow Chard, Spinach, Sugar Snap Peas, Celery, Red Russian Kale, Carrots, Coriander and Parsley.
Crops currently growing but not ready are Beetroots, Bok Choi, Tomatoes, Capsicums, Cucumbers, Corn, Green Beans, Zucchini and Basil.
Rainbow OMG Buyers Hubs
Jeparit, Warracknabeal, Hopetoun, Beulah, Nhill, Dimboola etc
Are you interested in our delicious vegetables but live just that little bit too far away to be worth the drive to Rainbow just to pick up one order?
We are looking for Rainbow OMG supporters from other towns in the region who are interested in working with us to increase the distribution of our organic vegetables and healthy lifestyle products. Buyers Hub organisers will be rewarded for their efforts.
If you would like a Rainbow OMG Buyers Hub in your town, please email “evan@rainbowomg.com” with your name and town and we will be in contact ASAP to kick start the process.
Some of our products may be a little different to what customers are used to so we will be providing Product Profiles in our Weekly Post and in a dedicated page on our website. This will provide recipe ideas and nutritional information for all of the vegetables and products we offer.
Product Focus: Gardenkraut
Most people are familiar with Sauerkraut which is a traditional side dish made of fermented cabbage. However did you know that almost any vegetable can be fermented? Gardenkraut is our own take on the traditional recipe and is made with whatever the garden is providing when we make it. This Gardenkraut is made with Red Cabbage, Carrots and Beetroots.
Fermented Vegetables should be considered a superfood. The lacto-fermentation process transforms vegetables into a very potent Probiotic, providing the following health benefits:
- Reduced overall inflammation
- Improvement of digestive disorders like leaky gut syndrome, ulcerative colitis, IBS and pouchitis
- Improved immunity
- Better nutrient absorption
- Prevention and treatment of diarrhea
- Prevention and symptom reduction of food allergies, including lactose intolerance, milk protein allergy and others
- Improvement of high blood pressure
- Reduced risk of cancer
- Alleviation of arthritis inflammation
- Reduction of eczema symptoms
- Lowered cholesterol
- Protection against H. pylori infection
- Better immune response in HIV/AIDS patients
- Improved vaginal health and prevention of bacterial infections like UTIs and bacterial vaginosis
- Natural remedy for the liver/brain disease hepatic encephalopathy
Fermented vegetables should be kept refrigerated. Order your Gardenkraut today.
Ingredients: Red Cabbage, Carrots, Beetroots and Himalayan Salt.
All items listed for $7.50 are discounted at 3 for $20 when paying with cash or cryptocurrency i.e. 1 x Rainbow Chard, 1 x Capsicum and 1 x Carrots = $20.
