What’s in the 16th Feb boxes?

As we bunker down for the cyclone we are trying to harvest as much as we can before it hits incase we lose some crops.

The first potato harvest has been all eaten, so now we have a few weeks to wait before harvesting the next lot of potatoes. 

This week the produce available is:

lettuce (red & green) 

carrots

beetroot

mizuna (green and red) 

cucumbers

courgettes

baby spring onions 

cherry tomatoes

round tomatoes

chard/kale 

leek

sprouting broc 

kolhrabi 

pumpkins/butternuts 

watercress

apples

 

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 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.
