Hello and welcome to the latest market report. Sorry for the extended break between this
edition and the last but it does mean we have plenty to tell you about.
Vegetables
UK Courgettes, both green and yellow, are in full swing and looking great.
UK Heritage Tomatoes are in short supply and the price has risen slightly as a result. UK Savoy and Primo Cabbages are readily available but sadly UK Asparagus has now finished and won’t be available until next spring.
UK Tenderstem Broccoli is plentiful and Yellow Beans are back in stock. We also have Yellow and Purple Cauliflowers but be aware that supply is limited.
Best Buys: Runner Beans, Heritage Carrots, UK Courgettes, Savoy Cabbage, Spring Greens & UK Extra Small New Potatoes
Salads
Due to quality issues we are currently not stocking any UK Frissee Lettuce but it should be back in the next week or two. We can offer a Spanish variety in the meantime.
Beautiful Rainbow Chard is here as is UK Radicchio.
Best Buys: UK Baby Gem Lettuce, UK Chinese Leaf & Mixed Leaf Salad
Fruits
The first Black and White Currants are arriving in the market as are delicious Greengages.
The first UK Plums have also started. Flat Peaches and Flat Nectarines taste great and are both good value at the moment.
Finally, juicy UK Cherries are in full swing.
Best Buys: UK Blueberries, UK Cherries, Flat Peaches, Victoria Plums, UK Rhubarb & Gooseberries
That’s it for this week, folks. Thanks for reading.
