With the sun shining and everything growing like mad, we thought it would be a good time to introduce locally produced fruit and veg boxes to accompany our meat boxes. Wayside Organic fruit and veg boxes are fantastic value compared with Riverford or Abel and Cole and they grow most of their own produce, so it is fantastically fresh and local.
Wayside Organics is a small holding in Oving, just outside Chichester. They grow salad crops (radicchio, endive, speciality lettuce and rocket), soft & top fruit (raspberries, red & white currants, gooseberries, strawberries & jostaberries) and a wide range of vegetables all grown to the standards set down by the Soil Association. They supplement the English growing season with organic produce from the continent that avoids air freight.
We are currently still in the hungry gap – when there is not a huge amount of English produce, but Wayside will start cropping salads and spring greens from next week, depending on the weather. We will keep you up to date on what is being produced locally, but have a look at the fruit and veg box options for this week and let me know if you would like to order a regular box.
