Seasonal Produce

December would not be complete without the Brussels sprout! Not the most loved but definitely the most famous Christmas vegetable, it coincides with the peak season for this small flavoursome vegetable.

Grown on large stems the sprout has seen a revival in recent years as more inventive ways of cooking and complimenting the vegetable have been developed. We can offer either on stem, off stem or prepared ready for the pan.

Chantenay carrots are super convenient – no need to peel, quick and easy to cook and taste delicious. They are stored in the ground under straw during autumn and winter. This is to retain their freshness and protect them from frosts.

They are small very sweet and usually seedless. Most people think of them as small tangerines but they’re a different variety entirely with a distinctive taste. Imported from Spain, Morroco and other parts of North Africa, clementines are a cross between a sweet orange and a Chinese mandarin.

A versatile green that's great for stir-fries. It has a generally sweet flavour with a hint of mustard. Dwarf bok choy are more leafy than the regular bok choy and it goes without saying that they are also a lot smaller.  This crop is actually grown all year round in our Essex glasshouse.
