Happy May Day to all! In May we'll be seeing Strawberries at all our Markets, with Besley Fruit returning to Stroud and Swindon THIS WEEKEND (4th and 5th) and to Stow with Siddington farm on the 16th. May has 3 intriguing foodie weeks; National Doughnut Week (12-19), National Vegetarian Week (21-27) and National Barbecue Week (29 May- 3 June). Look out for specials on those stalls at the markets.
What's in season?
Haven Nurseries have their first tomatoes and cucumbers on sale at the markets and rhubarb is now available from Over Farm at Stroud and from Styan's at Swindon.
Strawberries return and with a good bout of sunshine the asparagus will also be cropping soon.
Early tunnel courgettes and green beans will also become available during May so look out! Salad bags are also available
It’s a great time for leeks and red & white onions, parsnips, swedes and carrots, potatoes, greens, red cabbage, beetroot, cavalo nero so there's plenty to feast upon this week for roasts and soups.
