Veg Box Newsletter w/c 09.09.19

Hello Folks,

It’s another busy week here at Locavore, as the veg box team are all settling in and getting things set up at our new larger premises at Bellahouston. We’re certainly appreciating the extra space compared to the previous set up we had in the back of the Victoria Road shop!

It’s beginning to feel like autumn is truly on it’s way now. Luckily, this week’s veg boxes contain beetroot, leeks, potatoes and cabbage. Perfect for making warming, comforting soups and stews. Here’s a handy article with some good tips on how to cook perfect borscht!

We’ll be delivering cheese boxes and chilled vegan selections alongside our veg boxes this week. 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 group and check out our Veggiepedia!
