Not quite the start to Spring that we were hoping for, but we do have cheer of another sort to offer you. As you can see from the pictures we have started selling fruit and vegetables again. We hope you like the range we are offering, but please let us know if there is anything that you would like us to stock.
Where possible the produce will be English, but until the warmer months are with us we have limited choice in terms of UK-grown food. Despite this, we will be starting to sell Sara and Andrew Cross’ delicious vegetables from their organic farm at Child Okeford.
We do have some English vegetables – leeks, mushrooms and parsnips as well as the last of this season’s Maris Piper potatoes from Stourton Caundle – and of course English Bramley apples.
Our April offer on the Meat Counter is Pork Chops. There will be some good deals on lamb as well; prices are high at the moment, but will be coming down in the next few weeks as the new season progresses.
By next month I should be able to introduce you to a new range of wines, including some sherries. Naturally we shall have to sample them first and I hope to persuade our wine merchant to conduct an evening’s wine tasting for Orchard Park members. We will only be sending invitations out to this by e-mail, so please let us know your e-mail address so you don’t miss out.
