Seasonal Produce

It has to be said that April and May are all about British Asparagus. Deep green tips and a flavour that you don’t get with imported spears, make this something to really get excited about. If the temperature drops below 7°C the Asparagus stops growing so we all hope for mild nights and no frost. We grow in kent, the season starts being grown undercover and then moves outdoors. The best accompaniments are the most simple - classic partners include melted butter or hollandaise with warm stems, and lemony vinaigrette with cold asparagus.

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.

Vividly pink, exquisitely perfumed and very delicate, fresh raspberries are a real summertime treat. The overwhelming majority of raspberries sold in the UK are grown in Scotland where the long summer days help produce the most delicious berries.

If one fruit epitomises the English summer it has to be strawberries! Sweet, juicy and plump, British strawberries are undeniably the taste of a good summer. This succulent, fragrant fruit is as beautiful as it is flavourful.
