As our delivery days over the holiday period this year fall on Christmas and New Year’s Day we will be bringing your Christmas orders fresh to your door on 23rd Dec and we will also be delivering on the 30th Dec offering you a chance to replenish your supplies to tide you over until deliveries return to normal on the 8th January. Hope you all enjoy the holiday period, Sarah & Sue.

 Hello Everyone,

Starting in May, for the summer months when we need to spend more time working on the farm, we will condense our delivery schedule to Fridays only. We hope this isn't too inconvenient.

dwindling from constant picking! The stored vegetables are looking sparse and all last year’s produce is coming to an end. We will have one last burst of life from the plants before they set seed for a fresh new season. Having said that we still have produce in the fields including cabbages, sprouting broc, leeks, brussels as well as celeriac, parsnips, shallots, garlic in the store and the ever  present lettuce, salad leaves and herbs. As I said we do still have kale, chard and spinach but in rather smaller quantities!

Well some seeds have been sown and lots more sowing is imminent as we enter into our busiest time of year, which is ironic as it’s also when we have the least produce and, as many of you know, is called the hungry gap.

On to other news, the Soil Association

Inspection went well and we passed with

flying colours, of course!! Sue and I would like to thank you all for your continued support, we believe what we’re doing is important but we really can’t do it without our grass roots!

We were successful in our application for a rural micro grant and consequently we have an eye catching new banner for use at markets and fates and some brilliant new leaflets packed full of information and

pictures! I have included some in your boxes in the hope that you would be kind enough to pass some on to your friends and family.

Our Easter delivery days will be as normal, with us delivering on the Good Friday to ensure you’re well prepared for the holidays, but with the exception of Easter Monday when there will be no delivery.

Now to something Sue and I have been putting off as long as possible.  As I am sure you all are aware the last two seasons have been awful and not just in this

country but worldwide, directly affecting harvests and consequently prices. Also the pound has hit an all time low impacting

especially on imported fruits, which have more than doubled in price. We have struggled to keep our prices down and will continue to do so, but it is with regret that we are going to have to slightly increase our minimum order size to £6.00 and our price per portion to £1.20, this will ensure a really good portion size.

Since beginning to grow organic produce in late 2006 we have encountered two of the worst growing seasons for some time and now a recession! We continue to do battle with climates of all sorts (!) in the belief that it is worthwhile to make local naturally grown food available.   As this coming season is going to be fantastic we are aiming to have a price reduction to reflect this.

As this coming growing season is going to be fantastic and we begin to harvest our produce we are aiming to reduce our prices as we are committed to offering the best possible value for money.

We carry on regardless!!
