Hello
Folks,
Our
market gardens are keeping our growers incredibly busy at the moment,
with huge harvests – all the veg in the week’s boxes, aside from
potatoes, is Locavore grown! For those of you with a standard or
larger veg box, you’ll all have a bumper bag of Westland Winter
kale.
Queen’s
Park Govanhill Parish Church Foodbank told us that they are trying to
eliminate plastic from their packaging. Like most other small
foodbanks they are dependent on donations, which makes their efforts
to be sustainable harder. The Good Food Fund therefore now sends
paper bags along to them with the weekly donations of fruit. Thanks
to your ongoing generous donations it is easy enough for the GFF to
do this and we have extended the bag donatios to include Govan
Community Project and Central and West Integration Network’s
foodbanks.
We’ll
be delivering
meat
boxes
alongside
our veg boxes this
week.
Find
out what’s in them below.
You
can find more information about our monthly
specials
here, as well as their delivery schedule. If you’d like to add one
to your order, drop us an email at subscribers@glasgowlocavore.org.
Check
out storage guidance here
for helpful tips and tricks on how to prolong the life of your fresh
produce. If you’re wondering where your veg comes from, have
a look at these maps. You can also join your fellow subscribers
over in the Facebook
