1 Avocado
Fresh beetroot. Grate raw into a salad or boil in their skins and slice onto a sandwich - you will never eat anything else.
We plant broccoli (officially called Calabrese) in succession so that we can provide our customers with homegrown broccoli for as much of the season as possible. During the winter months and the 'hungry gap' our broccoli comes from organic growers in France or Spain.
Brussel sprouts.......mmmmh, so tasty, versatile and good for you. There is no need to wait until the first frost has sweetened them; the varieties we grow are delicious throughout the season.
1 medium sized red cabbage
The lovely and popular Savoy cabbage.
1 crisp and hearty white cabbage. Great for coleslaw and homemade sauerkraut.
Our carrots are freshly dug from the soil and are renowned for their wonderful flavour. When they arrive, store them in a cool place (in a bag) or in your fridge. Do not wash until you are ready to eat them; the soil helps retain flavour and nutrients and improves storage.
If you eat the florets raw, they are crunchy, sweet and a little spicy - great dipped in humous.
Fresh green celery: we usually cut ours long, so that you can benefit from some of the leaf which can be cooked or juiced. The central younger stems of green celery can be eaten raw with dips and the outer stems add superb flavour to soups and stews.
3 cayenne type chilli peppers - hot and spicy!
They are currently green and will mature to red.
Green courgettes grown by fellow organic growers in France or Spain.
Vallelado garlic originates from the cooler northern region of Spain. It has large cloves which are especially delicious when chopped and sprinkled over our Pink Brandy Wine tomatoes.
Fresh ginger, approximately 100g.
A bag of Cavolo Nero or Black kale. Favoured by chefs - just tear the leaf from the stalk and sweat/steam in a deep pan (lid on) in a splash of water - really delicious!
A bag of traditional curly kale. Great for making kale crisps - just rub in a little olive oil or coconut oil and salt and gently bake in the oven.
Our leeks have a reassuring crunch when you cut them and are bursting with flavour.
Our tasty homegrown lettuce. The variety will change, depending on what has matured in the field.
Our maincrop onions, naturally dried in the sunshine.
Our beautiful crop of red onions.
Green sweet pepper grown in our polytunnel.
A deliciously sweet, red pointed pepper grown in Spain or Italy.
A beautiful blue/purple skinned potato with a mottled blue flesh. Lovely flavour and extra nutritious.
Good boiled or roasted, and make especially nice potato wedges.
These fine Milva potatoes have an exceptional flavour, yellow flesh and waxy texture. Nothing better for potato salad but also great for roasting and baking. Our favourite potato.
A small pumpkin, bred for flavour not lanterns. Although they make attractive lanterns, we would recommend eating them: pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie and roasted with skin on.
Aproximately 1kg.
Perpetual spinach is a leaf beet which is the same family that chard and beetroot belong to. It tastes lovely and can be used in place of true spinach in any recipe as long as it is cooked.
A dark green, onion shaped squash with orange flesh and a lovely nutty flavour. No need to peel as the skins can also be eaten, adding more nutrition to your meal. Aproximately 700g.
Organic apple juice from Stream Farm on the Quantocks. This lovely, refreshing juice from the 2019 harvest is a blend of 5 apple varieties all grown at Stream Farm.
Unwashed purple topped swede, freshly lifted from the soil.
Sweet potato grown in Spain.
Sweet and juicy cherry tomatoes from Spain or Italy.
Home grown tomatoes that did not manage to ripen during that last spell of warmth. Great for making chutney or chilli jam. They have a lovely tangy flavour and can also be added to curries or a vegetable chilli.
Our homegrown tomatoes are available from July until November. For those of you who like to see a tomato or two in their kitchen for the rest of the year, we source either vine tomatoes or standard salad tomatoes from other growers in the UK. When there are no organic tomatoes left in the country, we source them from France, Italy or Spain.
Fresh turmeric is incredibly good for you apparently and is easy to use in place of dry turmeric - just grate with a zester or chop finely.
A useful stocking filler!
Benefit from extra fibre and nutrients by eating the skins of your root veg.
This sustainably produced hedgehog brush, made from coconut fibre, is ideal for scrubbing the soil off your root veg.
Look after your brush and it should last for years - just shake off excess water and hang it up to dry between uses.
