Market Report 27th March 2014 – 10th April 2014
Greetings my fellow fruit and veg enthusiasts and welcome to your favorite market report.
Clockwise from top left: White Chantenay carrot, Monks Beard, UK Asparagus, Iced Lettuce
Vegetables
A mixed bag on the veg front this week with lots of newly available produce to tell you about but
sadly a few items no longer available. Let’s start with the good news…
Fresh Cepes Mushrooms are back in season, the price is a little high at the moment but the
quality is very good.
The first UK Asparagus has also arrived and like the Cepes the quality is great but it is a little pricey.
Jersey Mids and Jersey Ware Potatoes on the other hand have come down in price slightly as
more arrive in the market.

Round Italian Aubergine sometimes called Pale Aubergine is here and looking great as are
White Chantenay Carrots and White Tender Stem Broccoli. Great if you fancy a twist on a classic.
Finally, Fresh Peas and Broad Beans are both plentiful and great value for money.
Now for the not so good news;
Pied de Mouton and Chanterelle Mushrooms will be coming to an end in the next few weeks so
be sure to order some while they’re still available.
To finish, after a good run both Brussels Sprouts and Brussels Tops have come to an end and
mixed winter Squashes are gone for another season.
Best Buys include: Asparagus, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Courgette, Savoy Cabbage,
Banana Shallot, Parsnip, Pre-Packed Spinach & Extra Small New Potatoes
Salads
If vibrant colours are what you’re looking for then look no further. Watermelon Radish,
Micro Lemon Balm and Rainbow Chard are all available and if you’d like more information on
any of these or any other product please just ask when placing your order.
Unfortunately, Calvo Nero will only be around for the next few days and January King Cabbage
has already finished but we do have plenty of good quality Savoy, Primo and Hispy Cabbage.
Spring Greens are also looking good at the moment.
Best Buys include: Round Lettuce, Raddichio, Water Cress, Pousse Epinard, Red Chard &
Cherry Tomatoes on the Vine
Fruits
Our Pears are now new season Cape Williams but we can still get Comice if you request them.
Blood Oranges and UK Rhubarb are both in full swing and tasting great but the quality of
Clementines and Satsumas has been poor recently. As a result we are now only stocking
Nadorcotts which are far superior if a little more expensive.
Best Buys include: Blueberries, Figs, Williams Pears & Rhubarb
We would like to remind everyone that we are able to supply an
extensive range of Dried Goods and Dairy.
We ask that all customers try to return as many boxes as they can as we are
trying to strengthen our environmental policy and recycle as much as possible.
