    carrots-camel csa 08.10.09This week another great selection of fresh seasonal veg in the boxes, including some Tenderstem broccoli. In case you haven’t come across this before, it’s a very tender sort of broccoli with, according to the Tenderstem website, a texture closer to asparagus. Nutritious too – a 100g portion will provide your full daily requirement of vitamin C.

    The small boxes will have:
    * red onions (Camel CSA)
    * parsnips (Camel CSA)
    * parsley (Camel CSA)
    * carrots (Jeremy Brown)
    Maris Peer potatoes (Burlerrow Farm, St Mabyn)
    tenderstem broccoli (Rest Harrow Farm, Trebetherick)
    leeks (Rest Harrow Farm)
    swede (Rest Harrow Farm)

    Standard boxes as above plus:
    * 140g salad bag (Jane Mellowship)
    * runner beans (Mark Norman)
    and larger quantities of the basics

    Large boxes will be as standard with the addition of:
    * crown prince squash (Jane)
    * celeriac (Jeremy)
    * courgettes (Mark)
    * 2 small salad bags (Jane)
    2 bags tenderstem broccoli (Rest Harrow Farm)
    plus larger quantities of leeks, potatoes, onions and carrots
