The seasons are changing! We are moving into the “growing gap” where the summer plants are finished and we are waiting for the winter crops to be ready for harvest. This means we will start to have some less common vegetables included in our boxes as they provide the necessary variety over this period of time.
This week we have:
lettuce
mircogreens
potatoes
cherry tomatoes
baby spring onions
pak choi
beans
carrots
chard/kale
leek
squash/pumpkins
watercress
apples
pears
The type of box you order will determine the quantity and variety you receive. The regular farm boxes will have the greatest variety, with the larger sizes having multiples of the same vegetables (e.g. a Little Box might have 2 cucumber, whereas a Whanau box might have 4 cucumbers). The Mama boxes (discounted seconds) have less variety (as not all types of veggies will have seconds every week) but provide more value.
Due to our farms being local, small scale and seasonal, there is a chance that not every box will have the same mix of vegetables, but we ensure every box has the same value of vegetables in it.
Thanks for understanding.
