The way the box scheme works means that you should always have a supply of potatoes, carrots and onions in your cupboard. You’ll also get some kind of salad most of the year, and a ‘green’ item like cabbage or kale. Here’s an example of one customer’s veggie week – the takeaway’s not compulsory, but it gives you an idea!
My Veggie Week:
September Standard Veg Bag
Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Salad leaves, Tomatoes, Kale, Cauliflower, Squash, Mushrooms
(Using Garlic, Leeks and Beetroot from previous week)
Wednesday:
Burgers in buns with salad leaves and tomatoes
Thursday (Cooking for Friends):
Mackerel with a herb crust with:
garlic/ginger kale, roast squash, cauliflower cheese
Friday:
Cook potatoes into wedges. Half into the freezer.
Eat half with takeaway pizza
Saturday

Roast squash soup, salad
Frozen pie with boiled carrots and leeks
Sunday

Monday

If you are a real planner, or have extremely specific likes and dislikes, the box scheme might not be for you but you can shop at either one of our stalls – at the Hornbeam on Saturdays, or at the Hawkwood Farm Stall on Wednesdays.
