We’re now entering the final week of asparagus picking. The local shops, Modbury Farm Shop, Fruits of the Earth, Washingpool and Fruit N 2 Veg in Beaminster will all receive their final box this week, if they’ve not already. We’ll still have asparagus available at the Farm Gate on Friday 10th June, but that will be the end for this year.
However, the new season’s vegetables are coming apace, so do come along on Friday to sample:-
Broad Beans – young, tender and juicy
Sugar snap peas – delicious either cooked or raw in salads
New potatoes – Rocket – amazing taste
Hispi cabbage – great either cooked or in salad
Lettuce – green little gem, crisp and crunchy
Carrots – bunched full of flavour
Tender Stem Broccoli – tender and delicious
Calabrese – full of flavour
French Beans – straight from the tunnel and very flavoursome
Courgettes – tunnel grown and delicious
Rhubarb – great in crumble or jam
