Seasonal Eating ~ Locally Grown Fruit & Vegetables in season this November

So it's November already, getting cold and very wet, what's in season:

Beetroot ~ ready to pickle for Christmas or serve as a vegetable right now.

Broccoli ~ a super food that should help build that immune  system up before all the coughs and colds of winter start catching up with us.

Cabbage ~ Pickle it, turn it into saurkraut, eat it right now.

Carrots ~ Full of beta carotene, use as a vegetable or make a carrot cake.

Cauliflower ~ We have some huge cauliflowers in the Farm Shop at Redmoor Lane, Wisbech, PE14 0RN right now, sometimes we even have purple ones and orange / yellow ones!

Celeriac ~ Have you tried mashing some celeriac with your potatoes? Delicious.

Celery ~ You won't find finer than celery grown in the Fens.

Leeks ~ Leek and potato soup anyone?

Onions ~ essential!

Parsnips ~ roasted for Sunday dinner, wonderful.

Potatoes ~ need we say more?

Pumpkins ~ Halloweens been and gone but Pumpkins are still in season for soups, curries, cakes and bakes, much more versatile than you might think.

Squash - we have butternut in the Farm Shop at Redmoor Lane, Wisbech, PE14 0RN

Swede ~ wonderful in soups and stews, mashed with potatoes or just on it's own with butter and black pepper.

And don't forget as fruit growers we have a wide selection of apples and pears grown right here in the orchard. We're still picking so you won't find fresher.
