Let’s
You know what they say… an apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Whether it’s in your school lunch box, a snack as you run out the door, mixed together with spices and topped with crumble and baked to perfection, or dipped into sticky toffee for a childhood festival favourite – the humble apple always hits the spot.
Known for its endless versatility –both sweet and savoury – apples are a great healthy option no matter your age.
Peculiar Picks Adventurous Applies are available in 1.5kg bags and can be found at your nearest Foodland store.
The only question you need to ask yourself before loading up your trolley is: Are you team red apple or team green apple? Luckily for you, both red and green apples can be found in the Peculiar Picks range.
The Peculiar Picks range celebrates sustainability and reducing food waste with its whole of crop approach and while the fruits exterior may be slightly quirky with a mark or a scratch, we can assure you that it tastes delicious. The Peculiar Picks range is just one of the many initiatives that we’ve introduced across Foodland stores to deliver better outcomes for our local Aussie farmers and our community.
One of the most wonderful things about Peculiar Picks Adventurous Apples is their size. You’ll find that these apples are slightly smaller in size but packed full of flavour. Whoever said that size matters clearly didn’t try a Peculiar Picks Apple!
The Peculiar Picks Adventurous Apples are exclusively picked from South Australia’s Ceravolo Orchards. Ceravolo Orchards is a fourthgeneration family-owned Agribusiness, producing premium South Australian fruit.
Ceravolo packs approximately 400kgs of freshly picked apples every four minutes! Now that’s impressive! Joseph Ceravolo of Ceravolo Orchards said: “With good care and nutrients, the trees in our orchard will produce fruit for about 20 years.”
Apples are in season locally in South Australia from late January through to May (depending on the variety), and this is when you’ll find apples in strong supply and at their best.
Foodland’s Fresh Manager, James, lets us in on the secret to storing your apples: “To achieve a nice crisp apple, store your apples in the fridge crisper draw. This will slow down the ripening process and ensure a pleasurable eating experience every time.”
“If you’re preparing sliced apples for kid’s lunchboxes or snack plates, try brushing your apple slices with some lemon juice. The acidity from the lemon will slow down the oxidation process and will stop the apple slices from browning once they’ve been cut.”
Next time you’re at your local Foodland store, be sure to pick up a bag of Peculiar Picks Adventurous Apples! We can guarantee you that unlike the name suggests, these Adventurous Apples will not go on hikes without you, climb furniture or look anything like Indiana Jones, but they will taste great.
Autumn is the season of rich, comforting flavours and meals, and offers a variety of produce across fruit, vegetables, meat and seafood.
As the weather begins to cool, and local berries and stone fruits slow, many fruit varieties reach their peak, offering a rich harvest full of flavour. Apples are in season during Autumn, with varieties such as Pink Lady, Granny Smith, and Royal Gala, all ready to be enjoyed. Similarly, pears come into season, offering sweet, juicy produce, which is perfect for snacking and baking. Autumn also sees citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, and mandarins start to come into their own, providing a burst of Vitamin C to our diets as we enter the colder months. Persimmons, pomegranates, quinces and figs are also in season and make the perfect addition to a leafy salad or a cheese board.
As for vegetables, Autumn is a great time to introduce root vegetables into your meals. Carrots, sweet potatoes, beetroot, turnips and pumpkins thrive during the cooler season, making them staples in hearty soups, roasts and salads. To see for yourself, why not try our Mediterranean Potato Salad (pg 23) or our Turnip and Swede Hassleback Bake (pg 12). Broccoli, brussels sprouts and cauliflower also shine, with their vibrant green and white heads appearing in abundance. We recommend our Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Whipped Ricotta and Chilli Honey (pg 14). As the temperatures drop, leafy greens like spinach and kale offer plenty of vitamins and fibre to boost your daily intake of greens.
In addition to the abundance of seasonal fruits and vegetables, Autumn showcases a variety of delicious meat and seafood varieties. As the weather cools, it’s the perfect time for a hearty, slow-cooked meal. Lamb and beef are a perfect Autumn choice, with their tender and rich flavours shining through when cooked slowly. We recommend firing up the oven and trying our Slow Roasted Lamb Leg (pg 8) or our Beef Bolar Ragu with Pappardelle (pg 44), for a delicious dinner option. These proteins pair wonderfully with seasonal products such as roasted root vegetables and leafy greens.
When it comes to seafood, Autumn brings an increase in the availability of cold-water species. Salmon and barramundi are often at their best during this time, offering flavourful fillets, ideal for grilling or baking. To find out for yourself, we recommend trying our Barramundi Burger (pg 17) and Salmon Tray Bake (pg 10).

The timing of Orthodox Easter originates from the Julian calendar, which is based on the solar cycle, whereas most Western countries and Christian denominations follow the Gregorian calendar. However, this year, both Orthodox and Catholic Easter fall on the same day.
A popular Orthodox Easter tradition is the dyeing and cracking of the red eggs. This tradition involves dyeing hard boiled eggs in red dye, selecting an egg to ‘compete’ with, and knocking the narrow tip of the egg with another egg to determine which egg is stronger. The process is continued until only two eggs are left, and the winner is the person whose egg does not crack. The winner is seen to have good luck for the year to come.
For many, Good Friday is a strict day of fasting, however in the weeks leading up to Easter, some also choose to fast, commonly from meat. Our Greek Vegan Tzatziki with mini cucumbers is a great fasting snack, and our Romanian Gogosi, which is a jam filled doughnut, is a dessert saved for special holidays, such as Easter.

Local Cellars Kingston SE is located in the South East, and is attached to the historic Royal Mail Hotel Kingston SE. We had a chat to the Store Manager, Tyson Baker, to find out a bit about the store and the community surrounding it.
“Hi I’m Tyson Baker, manager of Local Cellars Kingston SE, and also manager of the Royal Mail Hotel Kingston SE, of which Local Cellars is a part. I have been working at the hotel and the bottleshop for about ten years, the last three as manager. I previously worked at Kingston SE Foodland with my dad, who was the supermarket manager for many years.”
What is different about us?
“We are a drive-through bottleshop. We love it when customers come in and see our great range but many customers, for whatever reason, prefer to stay in their cars and love the convenience of being served from their cars by our staff. We are also a bottleshop in a coastal country town. In the summer we have lots of tourists come through but, most of the time, we know our customers by name and always make time for a chat while we serve them.”
Our Locals
“We are lucky enough to be surrounded by wonderful wine-producing areas – Mt Benson and Cape Jaffa and, further afield, the better known Coonawara –and have emerging beer and gin industries. We are committed to supporting local wineries, distilleries and brew houses, at the same time as continuing to stock the big commercial labels people know and love.”
Our Community
“The hotel and Local Cellars have a long tradition of supporting local causes. This year we have supported the local National Trust (their museum is housed in the
former Eudunda Farmers Foodland site), the Kingston women’s netball team, the local bowling and golf clubs, and we had a staff team in this year’s Royal Flying Doctor Service Oceans to Outback fundraiser.”
Our Favs
“To celebrate, I love a premium whisky, like an 18-yearold Johnny Walker, but for everyday drinking I can’t go past a Great Northern or a local shiraz from the Coonawarra, Cape Jaffa or Mt Benson. New in store is Archie Rose fingerlime gin, a special edition Baileys with Belgian chocolate and Anytime White, a fresh, zingy wine from Otellia. All great summer drinking and, dare we say, great gifts for hard-to-buy-for rellies.”
“In the short term, we have done a refresh of the store with new, bigger shelving which allows us to stock a wider range of drinks and offer our customers more choice than ever before. In the medium term, we are planning a brand new bottleshop with a vastly bigger range, and a bright and shiny shopping environment for our customers with room to offer tastings and showcase local product.”
“I love discovering and sourcing new products. Living in a country town shouldn’t mean customers miss out on the latest drinks.”

Do you recognise any of these faces?
Chances are, if you’ve visited one of the Rugless family-owned Foodland stores, you have probably had one of their friendly faces smiling back at you at some stage.
For more than 90 years, the Rugless family has been serving our local community – but it didn’t start with a supermarket but rather, a butchering business.
It was this initial venture into retail that saw two generations of the Rugless family owning more than 20 butcher shops throughout the 70’s and 80’s.
So how did they become involved in supermarkets? Over time, the Rugless family went on to purchase several Foodland stores including Hove Foodland, Brighton Foodland and Hallett Cove Arrow stores. Then, in 1987, Brian Rugless and son Graham Rugless branched out and purchased Happy Valley Foodland as their first supermarket together.
Following the retirement of Brian Rugless, Graham continued to grow his Foodland family footprint with
the purchase of Mount Barker Foodland, Yorketown Foodland and Local Cellars and Penola Foodland.
Graham Rugless has serviced the retail industry for more than 50 years – an outstanding achievement that exceeds far beyond the supermarket walls and well into the South Australian community.
Graham Rugless was recognised for his unwavering commitment to the Foodland brand and its network of suppliers and communities across South Australia in November 2024.
Graham was inducted into the Foodland Hall of Fame with his daughter Georgie Rugless alongside him to celebrate the milestone moment.
His children Georgie and Michael (3rd generation) continue to work within the business as each store grows and evolves to service the next generation of customers.
The Rugless family prides itself on its long-standing, trusted relationships that it has built with its staff, suppliers and customers over the years. With a wealth of knowledge behind this generational family business, the Rugless family continues to deliver exceptional service, high-quality fresh produce and goods, an inclusive environment, sustainable practices and a commitment to supporting its local communities.
Foodland values each and every one of its Foodland families around the state. Each friendly face, local sponsorship or donation program, enthusiasm to serve up premium South Australian produce and deliver exceptional customer service makes the Foodland shopping experience quite unique.

When Munno Para Foodland opened its doors in 1994, it wasn’t just another supermarket. It was a supermarket—literally—ahead of its time. Now 30 years later, it’s easy to see why the store and precinct has become renowned and successful.
To understand Munno Para Foodland’s success, you have to understand that, at that time, Munno Para appeared more like farmland and fields than a future, thriving suburb and community. Yet, for brothers John and Nick Chapley, the empty field they bought and built on was their literal ‘field of dreams’. They knew that if they built it, their customers would come.
From inception the Chapley’s were up against naysayers and cynics.
It was against the opinions and advice of countless ‘experts’ that the family backed themselves and their vision. In the grassy plains of what was to develop into a ‘shopping city’, the Chapley’s saw an opportunity to build a store and precinct that would inspire a community to live well and thrive.
Munno Para was designed to be a better shopping experience, with a bigger selection, more savings, and—importantly for the family— many more jobs than a traditional supermarket. Munno Para Foodland over the years continues to provide the locals opportunities to build careers close to home.
At the recent 30 years milestone event, Foodland celebrated several
employees on stage, including Sue Murphy (General Merchandise Manager), Evelyn Candy (Administration), Irene Baldwin (Deli) and Harry Kaiafas (Fruit & Veg), all of whom have each worked at Munno Para Foodland for its full 30 years.
With space and capacity for growth and opportunities, this Foodland was able to stock more products, support South Australian brands and farmers, and continue to treat customers to a greater quality of life. This approach to supermarket retailing was considered ahead of its time, not only in South Australia, but across the nation. Pretty soon, new supermarkets were following the Munno Para blueprint.
affordability together under one roof—an ambition that remains at the core of Munno Para Foodland’s promise today.
The Chapley family imbedded into the store countless firsts and unique features for a supermarket:
• A full scratch bakery, ensuring fresh, handcrafted bread every day
• A full-service meat department, providing top-quality cuts and personal service
• A massive ‘fresh’ section, with the freshest produce direct from the nearby fruit and veg. markets
• An authentic delicatessen, offering a range of specialty items that went beyond the basics
This was a supermarket designed around people’s needs, not just what was convenient to stock. It was built to bring quality, freshness, and
One of the defining characteristics of Munno Para Foodland is its unwavering commitment to the local community. The Chapley family has always believed in supporting those who support them, which is why the store has consistently:
• Partnered with local farmers and producers to ensure the freshest goods
• Backed local start-ups, giving them shelf space when bigger supermarkets wouldn’t
• Sponsored community sporting clubs, fostering a sense of connection and pride
This commitment extends beyond the store itself. Munno Para Foodland actively supports local charities through year-round initiatives, including Grey May, NAIDOC Week, and the SALA Festival. Most recently, the store played a major role in fundraising for Zoos SA and Monarto Safari Park, helping bring three elephants—Burma, Permai, and Putra Mas—to South Australia.
Three decades since its opening, Munno Para Foodland continues to uphold the values it was built on. Mr Nick Chapley, co-founder and co-owner of the store, attributes the store’s success to its unofficial business philosophy. Mr Nick says, “’we don’t own the store—the customers do.”
“Once our customers feel a sense of ownership– we really have created a special thing, a community”.
As we celebrate 30 years of service, we look forward to many more as the Chapley’s continue to deliver quality, value, and care to the people of Munno Para and beyond.
Each year, The JLF Trek invites passionate adventurers to take on a challenging, yet deeply rewarding, journey, all in the name of raising funds and awareness for bowel cancer prevention and early detection.
This May, The JLF Trek will, once again, offer participants the chance to hike through some of South Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes, while supporting the work of the Jodi Lee Foundation.
The Jodi Lee Foundation was established in memory of Jodi Lee, a mother of two, who tragically passed away from bowel cancer in 2010 at the age of 41. Since then, the Jodi Lee Foundation has worked tirelessly to increase awareness of bowel cancer and the important role of early detection in saving lives. That’s because bowel cancer can be up to 99% treatable if detected early. The JLF Trek plays a vital role in helping the Foundation achieve its mission of reaching Australians with its important messages.
For James Trenerry, participating in The JLF Trek is more than just a fitness challenge. “Bowel cancer is something that affects so many people. Each year, it’s
impacting more and more younger Australians- people in their 20s and 30s. It’s sadly now the leading cause of cancer-related death in 25-49 year-olds in Australia. To have the opportunity to help raise awareness is incredibly meaningful. For me, The JLF Trek is a powerful way to be part of something bigger. It’s an incredible opportunity to challenge yourself physically – but it’s about making a difference.” says James.
James has participated in the trek multiple times and this year will be his 6th trek. Each year, he’s reminded of the personal stories shared by fellow trekkers. “It’s amazing how this trek brings people together. We’re all there for different reasons, but we all share the common goal of supporting the Jodi Lee Foundation. The sense of community and camaraderie on the trek is inspiring. It’s humbling to hear how cancer has impacted the lives of so many, and it pushes you to keep going, even when the going gets tough.”
The JLF Trek is not only an opportunity to raise funds and important awareness, but it also offers a unique chance to connect with nature and experience the incredible beauty of South Australia’s landscapes. Trekking through rugged hills, beautiful coastlines, dense forests, and sun-drenched valleys, participants are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit.
The trek offers a chance to reset, reflect, and be inspired by their surroundings and the generosity of those who take part.
Jodi Lee Foundation Founder & Chair, Nick Lee OAM, explains “It’s incredible to watch people push past their limits, not only for themselves but for others. It’s a shared experience that creates lasting memories and, most importantly, it raises crucial funds for the Foundation’s work in combating bowel cancer.”
“Whether you’re an experienced hiker or someone looking for a new challenge, The JLF Trek offers something for everyone. Participants can nominate for a variety of distances – 67km over two days (Friday & Saturday) or 32km or 24.5km on Saturday only. By signing up, you’ll not only be supporting an important cause, but you’ll also be joining a community of like-minded individuals who are dedicated to making a real impact”, said Nick.
“Unlike similar events, The JLF Trek is a fully-supported event. Trekkers receive catering and refreshments at all checkpoints (morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea) and are treated to a finish line celebration event on day two. We are extremely grateful that Foodland have come on board this year to supply apples at checkpoints – thanks Foodland!” said Nick.
