Good News! Box Prices held!

andrew — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:16:57 +0000

Just to say that Box prices will remain unchanged at least until April! Meantime do help us if you can by recommending us to friends and neighbours (after your friend’s received four deliveries you’ll qualify to receive either a free box or £10 towards your account). If we can attract sufficient numbers then prices will be able to stay as they are another year. Will keep you posted…

Talking Turkey!

Sales are buoyant with medium to heavy birds sold out. We do have a few 3-4kg Norfolk Black hens available which are gamey and tender and delicious. Two of these birds would easily feed eight people. Please order asap!

Whitefly causing Christmas brassica shortage

andrew — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:36:37 +0000

especially of kale, purple sprouting broccoli and Brussels sprout stems (loose sprouts are okay - we can wash them). We’ll pick where we can but it’s unlikely this will be possible because of the whitefly. Apologies in advance if we’re unable to provide these items as part of your Christmas order. Once we have a cold snap things should start to become easier…

Organic Christmas Turkeys (High flyers)

Whitefly are about

andrew — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:46:00 +0000

thanks to the mild autumn weather! They tend to settle in leafy veg (sprouting broccoli, kale etc) and are likely to persisit until we have a cold snap or some rain. Should you notice any just rinse the leaves with a little salty water. The veg should be fine!
