Fresh basil in the veg boxes
June 3, 2010
The delicious smell of new season basil is wafting around the veg boxes. We’ve got a wonderful selection of spring vegetables this week, which suggests we’re almost over the “hungry gap“.
All the box contents – except for the last of the Cornish asparagus crop – come from two of Camel CSA’s three expert growers, Jeremy Brown of St Kew Harvest and Mark Norman in Bodmin.
Small and standard boxes have: –
*new potatoes (Mark Norman)
*mixed basil (St Kew Harvest)
*radish (St Kew Harvest)
*rocket (St Kew Harvest)
*lettuce (St Kew Harvest)
asparagus (Lower Croan, Sladesbridge)
Standard boxes also have: –
*extra potatoes (Mark Norman)
*beetroot (Mark Norman)
*green onions (Mark Norman)
*green garlic (St Kew Harvest)
* = grown to organic principles
