Wow what a year 2020 has been so far! Since the end of March we have gone through the single biggest upscale in our activities we’ve ever experienced. In a week, we found we’d doubled our veg box scheme from 300 per week to 600 per week. We had to close to new customers just to ensure that it was …
The impact of the Covid-19 crisis has put further strain on an already under pressure food system that for years has not worked for the benefit of the environment, food producers and the health and awareness of local people. The last few months has had a massive impact on us as an organisation as our Organic fruit and veg box …

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 …
