Extraordinary General Meeting on Monday 18th August, 18:00 at Treraven farm

August 15, 2025

We need your help to decide the future of Camel CSA; we’re at a crossroads and every voice counts in deciding what we do next. We cannot continue to operate the way we are and without help from our members we’ll have to close.

Please come to our EGM on Monday 18th August at 18:00 at Treraven farm and be part of the conversation. We’re looking for people to join our core management group and take on the vacant roles of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer, but don’t let that put you off if it’s not for you! Having people in the room who are passionate about the CSA might just encourage a new Chair and core group to step forward.

We hope to see you there,

The core group

Strawberries and garlic scapes in Camel CSA’s weekly veg boxes

May 19, 2025

Our own strawberries are not quite ready yet, instead we all have a punnet from Tamara Summer Fruits, near Saltash.

Some of this week’s veg boxes also have a garlic scape – the long stalks with a flower head that grow out of garlic bulbs planted the previous autumn.

The tender green stalks are edible and tasty, with a mild garlic flavour. They’re delicious chopped and fried lightly, then scattered into salads, stirred through pasta dishes, or used to garnish risottos and pizza. More recipe suggestions here.

In this week’s veg shares:
*garlic scape or broad bean tops
*salad leaves ‘Salad Bowl’
*lettuce ‘Little Gem’
*radishes
strawberries (Tamara Summer Fruits, Saltash)
cabbage (Trerair Farm Shop, St Eval)
potatoes ‘Melody White’ (Trerair)

* = grown to organic principles.  Please wash all veg thoroughly
