The mild, very wet weather in Cornwall continues to set challenges for vegetable growers everywhere as crops mature earlier than normal, causing potential shortages later on.

Fortunately our partnership with other growers like our own Mark Norman in Bodmin, Restharrow Farm at Trebetherick and Burlerrow Farm at St Mabyn means we can continue to fill the boxes while maintaining plenty of variety. And we do have veg coming on in the polytunnels plus plenty of onions in store!

Uchiki kuri squash in our New Year veg boxes

January 3, 2016

The veg site at St Kew is full of slippery mud and standing water as a result of all the rain. At least it stayed dry for a couple of hours while the picking and packing team got the boxes ready. Many thanks to Anne, Bridget, Charlotte, Janet, Kay, Mark N, Mike, Petra, Tracey and Trish plus Connor, Ethan and Max.

Some of the veg are a bit wet and muddy too (like the rest of us!) but we’ve done our best in very tricky conditions. Happy New Year to all.
