Posted on August 15th, 2010 No comments
The tender baby leeks in this week’s standard veg boxes deserved special treatment.What better than a risotto of leeks and pancetta from Nigel Slater’s latest book Tender?
The leeks and the mixed French beans that accompanied them were cultivated by one of Camel CSA’s expert growers, Jeremy Brown of St Kew Harvest.

Jobs for Sunday 14 June
Posted on June 13th, 2009 No comments
There’s a great deal to do at Camel Community Supported Agriculture this Sunday as the growing season continues apace.As expert grower Jeremy Brown explains: -
There are runner beans to plant out and French beans to sow. We also need to sow some more rows of carrots.
Everything needs weeding – the carrots (yet again!), the parsley and celeriac… But the onions are okay.
The early potatoes also need weeding and ridging up. The peas need supporting and tying up.
Just turn up to join the team on our site at St Kew Highway between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
If you can’t manage Sunday, why not come to our new mid-week volunteer session every Thursday morning at the same time? Or ring Jeremy Brown on 07971762227 if you’d like to help out another day.
