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. Final deliveries before Xmas will be on Fri 21 Dec. We’ll then be closed during Christmas week and New Year's Day. We will send out Price Lists as usual on Thursday 27 Dec, but during the first week of January, deliveries will be one day later than normal, so that our normal Thursday deliveries will take place on Friday 4 Jan 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 Popu-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. Campaign NewsSustrans has just been announced as the winner of the Peoples' £50 Million Lottery Giveaway - their vision is 'a world in which people choose to travel in ways that benefit their health and the environment. Every day we are working on practical, innovative ways of dealing with the transport challenges that affect us all.' Their Connect2 project will enable people throughout the country to make more journeys safely by foot, cycle and on horseback. Work begins in the New Year, so watch out for local developments such as the Harrogate to Ripley route on the former railway line over the Nidd Viaduct. 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. |

Deliveries
for
the week before Xmas
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!
