From top: Fresh Broad Beans, UK Rhubarb, Cherries and Yellow and Orange Vine Tomatoes

Vegetables

Our Asparagus is now exclusively UK grown and good value for money at the moment but we can still get a South American variety if you specify when placing your order. The first White Asparagus has arrived if you’d like to try something a little different.

Chervil Root, Romanesco Cauliflower and Red Curly Kale have all now unfortunately finished.

Onions will soon be Chilean as those from Spain are coming to an end. That change will make them slightly more expensive for the time being but the quality is much improved.

Purple Sprouting Broccoli is also ending soon and is currently in very limited supply as a result.

We will shortly have Portuguese new crop Savoy Cabbages in stock as the quality of the UK grown ones have been poor recently. This may cause a price increase but we don’t anticipate it lasting long.

Parsley Root is still available and both Fresh Peas and Broad Beans are in full swing.

Best Buys include: UK Asparagus, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Green Courgettes and Banana Shallots

Salads

Dutch Red and Yellow Tomberries are back in season as are Vine Tomatoes in a variety of colours including Orange, Yellow and Green.

We have moved to UK grown Spring Onions to ensure better quality and value.

Best Buys include: Iceberg Lettuce, Cos Lettuce, Baby Gem, UK Watercress and Spring Onions

Fruits

The first Spanish Cherries have arrived and look great but they are fairly expensive at the moment, hopefully that will change soon.

UK Coxes Apples have finished and our stock is now from New Zealand.

Spanish Apricots are trickling through and supply is limited but their Nectarines and Apricots are readily available now.

However, due to quality issues we have stopped supplying Spanish Strawberries and our stock is now Dutch new season although we can get UK grown if you asked for them specifically. French Gariguette Strawberries are also obtainable.

The season for Comice and Williams Pears has ended and we are now using the Packhams variety.

Sadly, Golden Plums have finished and Blood Oranges will be coming to an end soon.

Lemons are also far from plentiful and the price may be forced up as a result.

To finish, some good news as UK outdoor and indoor grown Rhubarb is in full swing and good quality. Crumble anyone?

Best Buys include: Blueberries, Figs, Mango, Rhubarb and Strawberries

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.
