Welcome to the place where we (re)gather our thoughts
Here at Regather we like to champion things we believe in. For the veg box team that means three things: local, seasonal organic. Organic can mean many things but in the context of selling fruit and vegetables when we talk about organic we refer to the process of organic certification. We thought now was a good time to talk about …
This week we have beautiful Spring cabbages from the wonderful people and plants at Wortley Hall Walled Garden. These brassica leaves are so tender and sweet that I’ll be reserving half my cabbage to enjoy minimally adorned as a side-dish – lightly cooked and tossed with some oil or butter and a bit of garlic. The rest of the cabbage …
Welcome to the re-energised recipe branch of the blog! We’re planning to get lots of delicious missives out to you. Look out for recipes and foodie musings direct from our home kitchens or the box-packing room at Regather HQ. In last Thursday’s box, I was super-happy to see some PSB (purple sprouting broccoli) and tomatoes. Cue my all-time favourite pasta …
Brexit has been dominating the headlines these last few months and like most people, Regather has been watching progress closely. Leaving the EU is likely to affect Regather and the products we offer in various ways; the greatest impact will be felt if we leave with no deal. In this worst case scenario, without a deal for trade, the UK would …

We’ve got 3 sizes to choose from; small £22, medium …

The Folk Forest are running their own mini festival in Endcliffe Park on the weekend of Tramlines. Previously part of the Tramlines programme, The Folk Forest have run a stage at the leafy gateway to the Peak District for several years. But with Tramlines’ relocation to Hillsborough this year, The Folk Forest have parted ways in order to host their …
Jerusalem Artichokes: I think they’re delicious, nutty, sweet and a hint of earthiness. Not everyones favourite due to their, err, windy qualities. For some people this can mean they never seem to get into this tasty vegetable. For anyone with a sense of humour I’d say go for it they are an interesting winter flavour that grow well in the …
The Purple Sprouting Broccoli is back and I’m overjoyed it’ll be joining us in our veg boxes and kitchens regularly over the coming months. A beautiful and delicious winter treat, Purple Sprouting Broccoli offers leafy sanctuary in a winter sea of root veg. This is what it means to eat seasonally! RECIPE!! My hands down favourite PSB recipe is …
