As we approach the ‘hungry gap’, it’s getting harder to fill our boxes with Cornish produce but we’ve managed for at least another week. Lucky standard boxes will be getting Cornish asparagus this week – it’s just too early for there to be enough for everyone, but it won’t be long … There’s rhubarb too – and hopefully enough for everyone but we can’t tell until tomorrow morning.

Small and standard boxes will all be getting:
potatoes (Burlerrow Farm, St Mabyn)
onions (Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick)
* leeks (Jeremy Brown, St Kew Harvest)
* salad bags (Camel CSA / Jeremy)
* baby spinach (Jeremy)
cauliflower (Restharrow Farm)
swede (Growfair Cornwall)

Standard boxes will have extra potatoes plus:
asparagus (Lower Croan, Sladesbridge)
rhubarb (Trish Gibson and Jane Mellowship)
