What's in season?

Many people feel there is merit in eating more seasonally, either because it reduces food miles, because the food is fresher, or because it is a more natural way of living.

Our soil is a medium-heavy loam. It's alkaline, it's very wet in winter, and it's in a frost pocket. We can get frosts as late as the second week of June and as early as the first week in September. We have to play to our strengths and grow what grows well for us.

For your interest, here's a table of our home grown vegetables and when they are available in-season. Of course, most vegetables are available year round in our shop, brought in from other growers.

Key

Of course, this is only a general guide. Crops sometimes fail, and seasons may be late or early and it's all 'while stocks last'.
