Cheaper – When fruits and vegetables grow easily and in large amounts, more is available, so they’re usually cheaper. They taste better – Fruits and vegetables that are in season do not usually need long storage or transport so they taste fresher and have better flavour. Think about how much better tomatoes taste in summer! They are better for you – When fruits and vegetables are grown in their peak season, they are picked at the right time. The fruit and vegetables keep more of their vitamins and nutrients.
Our winner for our Summer Pet Social is Sarah and her two dogs, Raider and Tia! Raider came into Sarah’s life at four weeks old and decided that his full-time job was to be her best friend. He has grown into the most amazing dog, powered by pure love and zoomies that come out of nowhere, always making her smile. Tia , her English Staffy, is the ultimate cuddle bug. She is all heart, all love, and happiest when she is glued to her big brother Raider, playing, following him around, or stealing his spot. Together they are her daily dose of laughs, love and muddy paws – proof that the best therapy has four legs and zero personal space awareness. At Housing Choices Australia, we know that pets have a positive impact on mental health and make incredible companions. If you have a pet that you would like to feature on our Pet Social, send us an email at communitydevelopmentvic@hcau.org.au for a chance to feature in our next edition of Home Stories !
