We’ve some lovely fresh vegies, like this beautiful pak choi, some green garlic, and lovely new potatoes!
And what with the summer finally arriving, we’ve been doing pretty well with our sun products (and ice lollies) too.
Not to mention chilli and tomato plants grown by Tia – they’re shifting pretty quickly though, so get here fast if you want some!
Great to see that Tia Cusden has now got her Wild Garden website up and running, so we can give you more of a glimpse into the origins of her wonderful salads and herbs.
In the beginning of the season Tia’s produce was grown under glass, but as you can see she’s now in full production outdoors, in the famous ‘parabola’ walled garden at Hadspen House.
Tia’s bringing fresh salad and herb bags into us at Bruton Wholefoods twice a week now, midday-ish on Mondays and Thursdays, but they’re in great demand so don’t leave it too long to pop in or you might find they’ve all sold out!
The contents of the salad bags change according to what’s best on the day – this week we’ve been delighted to find Heartsease violets brightening up our salad bowls!
Thought you might like a quick glimpse of some of the lovely produce coming into the shop these day – it leaves again pretty quickly! 🙂
And for those of you in need of a little token to give to someone special: do pop in! We’ve lots of lovely things like these heavenly fairtrade chocolate hearts by Divine!
As it’s Thursday we’re open from 8.30am – 8.00pm 🙂
We’re sad not to have Charles’ leaves any more, but new for 2013 are these lovely local leaves grown in Hadspen by Tia Cusden!
Following in Charles’ footsteps Tia will also be supplying us with an ever changing seasonal mix of leaves. At the moment these will include some or all of: red and white mustard, mizuna, salad rocket, chinese cabbage, raddichio, mibuna, pea and broad bean tips, chervil, komatsuma, lettuces, endive, soil grown watercress, radish leaves, pe tsai, and parsley.
Tia grows her leaves without the use of any pesticides or chemical fertilizers in organic compost with a little added seaweed. Perfect!
… when the oranges appear!
So whether you fancy making marmalade with lovely organic seville oranges….
… or tucking straight into a delicious blood orange: you really should pop in now!
Our first vegetable delivery of 2013, and we’re pleased to say the shelves are looking good again!
Happy New Year!
We’re open from 8.30 – 17.00 on New Year’s Eve and still have a few of our 10 year anniversary calendars in stock: just in time for New Year’s Day!
Merry Christmas to all our customers, and we look forward to welcoming you warmly again soon!
