We have set up a to report on this work, where you can find the long answer about everything from hothouse tomatoes to packaging and transport We avoid mechanical washing of our vegetables as this process damages the produce reducing shelf life We always like to hear from you (or even to see you if you are ever near the farm) This is a great help to us in planning the crops, but we much prefer you to swap between boxes and miss the occasional delivery than build up an onion mountain or have cabbages taking over in the fridge So the fruit and salad items you eat raw may well sit next to some muddy veg fresh from our fields
