Hello everyone
usual reminder for veggies, but I have attached April produce list, and updated version of Caroline's breadlist. The cake of the month has changed to Carrot and Walnut - absolutely delicious (although the lemon was VERY popular, so we will probably have to repeat that at some point).
We are having a busy but productive day - field has been ploughed and rotavated, and we will be planting potatoes and sowing seeds for beetroot, spinach, chard, carrots, kale, swede and turnip later on - then we will be hoping for a drop of rain. Alan's field has also been ploughed at his farm, and he has put up a polytunnel and is building raised beds, so hopefully we will have more local veg than ever on the boxes this year - so please bear with us in this time of not-very-much-local, as you probably know this time of year is known as the 'hungry gap' but hopefully our fields will be producing lots of good stuff in the very near future. Alan has also got some chickens, which are completely free range, so he will be supplying some of the eggs on the boxes from now on, and we will probably getting some as well in the not-too-distant future, so hopefully we will be self-sufficient in local, free-range eggs.
If anyone doesn't get attachements by e-mail please let me know and I will put a produce list in your box.
Best wishes
Theresa
