We have tenderstem in our boxes this week, cultivated by our external grower Richard Hoare at Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick. Tenderstem is exactly that – a cross between calabrese and Chinese kale that doesn’t need trimming and can be cooked and eaten in its entirety. So no waste!

In all the boxes this week:-
*carrots
*Swiss chard
*green onions
*Cornish new potatoes (Mark Norman, Bodmin)
tenderstem (Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick)
spring greens (Restharrow)
strawberries (Mitchell Fruit Garden)

Standard boxes also have:-
extra new potatoes
*French beans OR cucumbers
*mixed lettuce bag – oak leaf,  ‘Freckles’
*courgettes (Mark Norman)

* = grown to organic principles
Please wash all vegetables and fruit. All produce grown by Camel CSA unless otherwise indicated
