Make Hay

Wise words "Make hay while the sun shines" as a good friend of our says, It is the same idea as "store vegetables while they are in season", even though you may be eating your fill on cauliflower and broccoli now, you will miss them in the warm summer months when they are harder to grow.

Brocolli and Cauliflower are in full flight right now so if you would like extra for storing/blanching or souping just ask and a good deal will be given.

 

We would rather see this beautiful produce be put to use than ploughed in.

Enjoy, be creative and live well

 

thank you for supporting our local industry.
