This week on our farm we are pulling organic spring onions. This is pretty unusual for the time of year- usually Eden Farms grows overwintered salads in tunnels, but until this week, they were quite happy ourside.
So how come that my local Somerfields is air- freighting spring onions in from MEXICO this week?! Is there any possible excuse for transporting such an easy, british salad crop so many thousands of miles.
I also saw the usual beans from Guatemala and Kenya, and even some butternut squash from far-flung Australia.
What are we doing?! Theres plenty of local variety to be had 12 months of the year. In Eden Farms organic vegetable box this week I had: Cara potatoes, crunchy carrots, onions, chestnut mushrooms, bunched beetroot (sweet!), coriander leaf, swede, sprout top, spring onion and a savoy. Look no further than www.edenfarms.co.uk- just down the road!
