SALAD LEAVES & GARDEN PRODUCE

Lettuce Mix (Our Spring Mix)

• Our Signature mix of lettuce leaves expertly hand harvested.
• A solid tasty salad base with an amazing shelf life.

Spicy Mix Salad

• We love mixing mustard & rocket leaves together to produce our Spicy Mix!

Mustard Leaves

• A mix of mustard leaves usually mizuna & purple frills.
• Tons of flavour! With a light, mild peppery heat.
• Very decorative serrated leaves.

Baby Spinach

• We use a rather unique variety of spinach because of its juiciness. It takes a little bit longer to grow but its flavour is worth it! Delicious.
• Larger spinach for cooking & jucing is also available when this is in season.

Salad Rocket

• A milder version than its wild cousin. It has the distinctive rocket flavour but abit toned down. Great where you want that flavour but not in an overpowering way.
• Often long loabed leaves as opposed to serrated.

Baby Red Kale

• A very young, tender baby kale. Very suitable for a raw salad!
• Beautiful serrated leaf with a pinkish stem.

Curly Kale

• Fresh curly kale grown in rich soil cannot be compared to!
• Richer in flavour and minerals.

Black Kale (Cavolo Nero)

• Long black kale leaves with distinct kale flavour.
• Very suitable for all your curly kale uses aswell as its Italian heritage uses such as minestrone!

Rainbow Chard

• Easy to spot with its striking colours and large leaves.
• Steamed or blanched leaves make delicious wraps for any filling!
• Colours indicate different nutrients, eat the rainbow!

Breakfast Radishes

• Longer than the usual round ones.
• Abit sweeter and milder in spice too, more suitable for raw eating.
• Leaves are delicious too!

Salad Turnips

• Baby White Salad Turnips are staples in Japanese cooking for thinly sliced quick pickles or raw in soups & salads.
• No need to peel and they are deliciously crunchy, watery and sweet.
• Leaves are very tender and edible too (Nothing like swedes)

Baby Courgettes (Seasonal)

• Fresh picked baby courgettes are delicious!
• About 7 - 10" Long (18cm - 25cm) no seeds or barely developed).
• Different colours available seasonally.

Cucumbers (Seasonal)

• People say they can or can't taste cucumber. When it's grown in rich soil you can DEFINETLY taste them!
• Much more flavour and they can be grown as small or as long as you like.
• We grow many varieties each season to see what we like - Pickling Gherkins also available.

Cherry Tomatoes (Seasonal)

• There is ALOT of debate around tomatoes, it ends here... Grown in rich soil they are amazingly delicious.
• A ton of shapes & sizes exist outside the mainstream imports (which we love to experiment with).

Garlic (Seasonal)

• High quality garlic, grown in small batches.
• When being harvested (end of June/Early July) you can try "Wet" garlic (See photo). Before it cures, the skins are soft, tender and deliciously edible.

Garlic Scapes (Seasonal)

• Very seasonal crop item. The flower stems of garlic. They are beautiful grilled and put into pasta.
• Raw Spicy Garlic flavour, great for flavouring oils too!

Celery Bunches

• Celery takes quite abit of time to grow from seed so in order to have it available for aslong as possible we sell it in bunches!
• Strong celery stalk flavour, leaves are very usable and are akin to flat parsley.
