What’s in the 27th April boxes?

What’s in the 27th April boxes?

The seasons have changed! We are in 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 have some less common vegetables included in our boxes as they provide the necessary variety over this period of time. 

This week on farm we are planting our garlic, lots of purple kale, and potting our strawberry runners for next year. 

The Little box will have: 

Lettuce
Kale
Silverbeet 
Potatoes
Watercress
Pak choi

Buttercup

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.

The following items are available in small quantities so will be used as substitutes for things on the above list if we run out:

microgreens

carrots

tomatillos

jerusalem artichoke 

apples 

pears

feijoas
