£2.20 Add to basketKohlrabi – Superschmelz (Organic)
A light-green kohlrabi that will remain tender and sweet to a huge size. If left to grow it can reach up to 8kg. It is resistant to bolting and splitting.
Fred has been growing Superschmelz kohlrabi for years. “It gets huge, it stores really well AND it stays tasty and crunchy!” is his verdict.
We think kohlrabi is best eaten raw in salads or straight from the garden. It is also nice pickled or added to stews and stir fries.

Dwarf French Beans – Brittany Haricot (Organic)
£2.95 Add to basketDwarf French Beans – Brittany Haricot (Organic)
Plump round bean with purple marbled pods best enjoyed half-dry . If this bean was grown in the Cotes d’Amor region of Brittany, it would be called Coco di Paimpol. With a creamy nutty flavour this Haricot bean is traditionally sold at French markets demi-sec in pods and enjoyed in hot and cold dishes.
We received a packet of seeds in the post from one of our customers with a note saying that they had been saving their own seed from this variety for over 6 years since they lived in Brittany.
Best harvested when the beans in the pods are fully formed and semi-ripe. It freezes really well, avoiding the need for
soaking overnight if dried. Great as a warm salad or in casseroles.

Chard – White (Organic)
£2.30 Add to basketChard – White (Organic)
A classic variety with glossy dark green leaves and thick white stems. If you need a leafy vegetable that ‘just grows’ Swiss Chard is a garden essential. From two sowings, one in the Spring and one in the Autumn, you can have chard almost all year round. In Fred’s words “Chard is just always there, even if you don’t want it, it’s still there”.
This variety is robust, vigorous and very productive. You can use the stem and the leaf separately as they have different cooking qualities. Ronja’s favourite recipe is with the whole plant. Sauté onions in some oil with a bit of chilli and the Swiss chard, add some cooked white butter beans, serve with cheese on top – just delicious!
