We live in the "Garden of England". Meaning, we are literally surrounded by the farms that grow England's produce. But, as ridiculous as it sounds, we haven't been taking advantage.
Enter Nethergong Nurseries. They deliver a box of fresh (picked Wednesday, delivered Friday), local (within 10 miles) produce, right to your door.
You pick the size of the box, and the frequency of the deliveries. You can also ask them to add fresh fruit, free range eggs, and locally made cheeses. Everything is in-season.
We just got our first box this morning. It had red and yellow onions, Picasso potatoes, carrots, kale, leeks, spring onions, purple sprouting broccoli, tomatoes (the first of the season!), and romanesco cauliflower. Our special additions were braeburn apples and conference pears.
The last picture is of the romanesco cauliflower. Resembling a sea creature, they are a beautiful example of the Fibonacci Sequence in nature. I can't wait to see what they taste like.
