Hello Folks,
We’re pleased to be delivering apples to you from the Cyrenian’s Farm over in West Lothian. They are growing over 35 varieties of apples on their farm, and have provided us with a mixed batch, including Katy, Egremont Russet, Charles Ross, Devonshire Quarrenden and many more! The fruit trees are under Soil Association approved organic conversion.
A reminder that our Munch of the Month competition for August and September is well under way, so if you’d like to be in for the chance of winning a hamper of wares from our, make sure to enter! All you have to do is to share a photo of a dish you have created using ingredients from your veg box alongside a brief description and the tags #locavorevegbox and #locavoremm. You can enter as many times as you like and the competition will close on Friday, September 28th at 12pm.
As usual, join your fellow subscribers over in the Facebook group, and check out our Veggiepedia for recipe suggestions.
