The butternut squash in the boxes this week are cultivated by Camel CSA member Mark Norman, who produces veg on his own smallholding just outside Bodmin.

*mixed salad leaves or *cucumbers
*rhubarb chard or *cavolo nero
*jar of spiced pears
*butternut squash (Mark Norman, Bodmin)

We love pakchoi. It’s such a useful crop as it grows so quickly and there are so many delicious ways to prepare it. Ours have a few holes in the leaves nibbled by caterpillars which have flourished in this mild autumn weather (we don’t use pesticides, remember?!) The wriggly critters have now moved on after ignoring the tasty, crunchy stalks – the best part in our humble opinion.
In the weekly veg box shares:-
*pak choi
*kalettes or *bulb fennel
*radish bunch
*mixed salad leaves
cauliflower (Restharrow Farm, Trebetherick)
onions (Restharrow)
