We all have a jar of our very own tomato chutney this week – made last autumn when we had a glut of tomatoes, onions and apples. So useful now during the so-called hungry gap, the leanest time of the year for fresh, seasonal, locally-grown vegetables in the UK.

All boxes have: –
tomato chutney (Camel CSA)
* spinach/chard (Camel CSA)
* mixed salad bag** (Camel CSA)
* parsley (Camel CSA)
potatoes (Burlerrow Farm, St Mabyn)
leeks (Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick)
cauliflower (Total Produce, Cornwall)

Standard boxes also have: –
extra potatoes
* rocket (Camel CSA)
onions (Restharrow)
* rhubarb (Camel CSA/Mark Norman, Bodmin)

* = grown to organic principles
** = baby spinach/leaf beet, lettuce,  red mustard and golden mustard greens
