As you can imagine it is proving difficult to get fresh local food at the moment. Most of our smaller suppliers don't produce anything at this time of year and Mark at Ashtrees Farm is on holiday this week - hopefully in warmer climes!

Tolhurst Organic Produce is our main local supplier at the moment and they have two problems. One is that many vegetables like leeks are completely frozen and impossible to harvest. The other problem is that they are based off Whitchurch Hill and access is very difficult given the snow.

We have ordered extra supplies from our organic wholesalers so where the markets are running there should be some fresh vegetables. Rest assured that your local food team are ready to get back to supplying local veg again once the conditions improve.
