Brief October update

Brief update, we have updated ourproduce list for October, we will also put printed copies out in the boxes for those that would like them this week.

There are quite a few new things on including savoy cabbages, red onions, pumpkins and UK Bramley cooking apples. Alan has made some delicious green bean chutney from the last of the bean harvest, and we have decided to stick with lemon cake for another month, as it is by far the most popular!

We hope that you have been enjoying the peppers and aubergines which have been coming from Alan at Pwll Court in the last month or so, and also last week’s broccoli, which was all mine! We are finding that the produce list doesn’t accurately reflect where things are coming from, as our stuff comes and goes so quickly, so the e-mail is turning out to be a really important way of communicating what is in season locally, and what is coming from our farms.

This week I have Chinese leaves available apx 1.50 per head depending on size – excellent for stir-frying – I haven’t put them on the list because they won’t be available for the whole month, but if you would like some just let us know.

Best wishes
Theresa
