white sprouting broccoli (Restharrow Farm)
red cabbage (Restharrow Farm)
savoy cabbage (Growfair, Cornwall)

Standard boxes will have extra potatoes and onions plus:
* leeks (Jeremy)
cauliflower (Growfair)
spring greens (Growfair)
* = grown to organic principles
Update: The boxes also contain a small bag of bean sprouts cultivated by Camel CSA expert grower Mark Norman in his linen cupboard! He did this as an experiment and is keen to grow some more. So please let us have your feedback. As there’s only a small amount, he suggests you try them sprinkled on top of salad or in a sandwich.
