Veg Box News 21st - 24th November, 2017

We are continuing to discuss our plans for that week in December that we don’t mention yet.  As the 25th December is a Monday boxes will be unaffected in the week prior to it.  Traditionally we are unable to deliver between Christmas and the New Year as supplies are very limited.  It looks as if we may not be able to deliver on Tuesday 2nd January either as it would seem a little unlikely (and unreasonable to expect) that our organic suppliers will be out picking on New Year’s Day!  We will confirm all these details nearer the time.
You can of course supplement your veg box with additional stock from the shop.  Give us a ring or drop us an email with your requirements.  Please make it clear if you have a preference for organic or non-organic produce.  Our email address is info@sheffieldbeanies.co.uk

Here are this week’s box lists:
Sprout tops - delicious lightly steamed, or shredded and stirfried

A

Potatoes – Bakers 1kg
Onions 500g
Carrots 600g
Sprout tops
Beetroot 600g
Courgettes 400g
Pointy Peppers

B’s will get a portion of leeks in place of the potatoes
D’s will get a further 800g Potatoes and a Head of Broccoli
E’s will get the Leeks and the Broccoli
L’s and M’s will get these too and a further mystery ingredient as yet to be confirmed.

All produce will be UK grown so G’s will be as per the standard boxes.
Please remember that when we put weights against items this is purely a rough guide as it is impossible to accurately weigh 600g carrots.  We do err on the generous side though and will always balance any major shortfall by adding additional amounts of another item.


K

Bananas 600g
Apples 600g
Mango x 1
Clementines 500g
Avocados 300g
Lime x 1


Q’s will also receive 600g Concord Pears
