We’ll be doing £20 veg sacks for those of you organising family food marathons,
but all sizes will be brimming over with traditional veg like cabbages, carrots,
Jerusalem artichokes, leeks, parsnips and sprouts (subject to availability), plus seasonal specialities like
chestnuts and mandarins in the bigger boxes.
Fruit boxes are available in sizes up to £18. We’ll then be closed over Xmas and on New Year's Day. We will send out Price Lists as usual on Thursday 1 Jan, and deliveries will be back to normal thereafter What Xmas specialities are available?
Please order early as many items are in limited supply There’s loads more groceries to choose from if you’re looking for festive food – just download our Grocery Big List. Charitable Donations
In line with our usual policy, this year we will again be
making donations to charities, replacing what we used to spend on free
hampers for the coordinators – we hope you agree that it is money well spent! Gifts That You Send Us
At the end of the last week of the year, we run a tombola for all the staff to share the gifts sent in from suppliers and customers. This means that any gift you send will be shared amongst the staff ‘in the wings’ who you may never meet but nevertheless play a vital role, as well as those ‘in the front-line’ who you see or speak to every week. What's Growing this month
We'll soon be deciding what to grow next year, so if you have any favourite salads or herbs that you'd like us to supply, do let us know

for
Xmas
week
December is a quiet month for our own crops - we buy in maincrops like
potatoes, carrots, swedes, parsnips, leeks and cabbages from local growers, but we
continue to produce small amounts of salad leaf, spinach and herbs in our own tunnels,
but unfortunately, in the cold dark days of winter, demand exceeds supply!
