Lettuce – Till (Organic)
£1.95 Add to basketLettuce – Till (Organic)
Green variety forming a dense rosette of arrow-shaped leaves. Till seems to be quite a unique variety. Although officially loose-leaved, it forms a very dense head, with a texture similar to little gem.
If you like a lettuce big on crunch and fresh taste then Till might be the one for you. Leaves can be harvested cut-and-come-again style or whole heads can be harvested.

Delicious and spicy serrated leaves, smaller and more delicate than their cultivated cousin. We love wild rocket as it just keeps on giving, even once it is going to seed it continues to produce new leaf growth if you cut it back.

An unusual ultra-frilly Red-Russian type. Bear Necessities has leaves unlike any other kale as it was bred from a cross between a mizuna and a kale. It’s ultra frilly leaves lend themselves to salads when young and are great cooked when larger.

Lettuce – Devil’s Tongue (Organic)
£1.98 Add to basketLettuce – Devil’s Tongue (Organic)
A dark red spring lettuce with tapered cos-like leaves forming loose heads at maturity. Bred by lettuce breeding wizard Frank Morton, this variety has a very buttery texture and thick leaves.
This is not a pure-line variety, as evidenced by its black and white seeds, but a multiline “landrace” of similar looking (but genetically distinct) sub-lines. Most of our ancestors’ staple crops, their legumes and grains, were also multi-lines. The genetic diversity of these farmer-varieties was the original crop insurance against the vagaries of nature.

Tomato – Mango Lassi (Organic)
£2.20 Add to basketTomato – Mango Lassi (Organic)
Extremely productive red cherry tomato bred for its fine flavour. This is a farm-original variety which we have bred by ‘dehybridising’ a popular F1 variety. We have been stabilising the line for 5 years and think its ready to send out into the world now!
The plants have been selected each year for the best flavour and excellent productivity. One of our volunteers thought that the fruits tasted like mango so we named it Mango Lassi. We hope you enjoy it. We would appreciate any feedback you have on it.

A beautiful and very productive variety of two tone pink and white stems.

Cima di Rapa – San Marzano (Organic)
£2.10 – £3.00 Add to basket This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageCima di Rapa – San Marzano (Organic)
A really easy to grow broccoli alternative producing tender flowering shoots around 60 days from sowing. Cima Di Rapa (also known as broccoli raab), is actually botanically a type of turnip rather than a broccoli. As such it is very quick to grow and unfussy in terms of its water and nutrient requirements.
The flowering shoots are harvested like sprouting broccoli and if you take care not to remove the lower two leaves you can get a few cuts off them.
In Italy there are many different varieties of Cima Di Rapa, maturing at different times and with different culinary uses.
