This week things are starting to look up! We have some blue skies and the tidying up of the Pirinoa market garden is underway. With all the wet weather, things had got a bit out of control. We have been busy pruning all the wild plants and giving everything a good layer of mulch. It feels wonderful to start to have the garden looking tidier & healthier again.
This week the produce available is:
lettuce
sprouting broccoli
potatoes
green peppers
baby spring onions
kamo kamo
pak choi
carrots
cucumbers
courgettes
cherry tomatoes
round tomatoes
chard/kale/dandelion/sorrel (leafy greens)
leek
borlotti shell beans
buttercup squash
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.
