Last week we took in our last batch of apple donations for the community apple pressing. Big thanks to everyone who brought their apples in! Donors will hear from us later in the season about their bottled juice. Customers can now add the freshly pressed apple juice to their veg box order here. With apples everywhere at Regather and at …
Sheffield apple season has arrived early! We’re delighted to have the first UK organic apples of the season in our fruit boxes this week – including some beauties from our neighbours in Moss Valley, Sheffield Organic Growers (thank you, Huw and the orchard team). Add a Regather fruit box to your order here. It’s almost sacrilege to do anything with …
If you’re looking for a healthy seasonal veg soup recipe to recalibrate your post-Christmas body and mind, look no further! No fewer than SEVEN items from the typical Regather veg/fruit array in December/January – nine if you count the optional extras of fresh organic ginger and garlic.

I’ve made this two years running – I love the red wine for depth and how the dish is not overly sweet like some spiced red cabbage dishes (but if you like sweetness, it’s easy to dial it up).
