Hello,

Hope you are well!

As of next week I have made the decision to stop selling fresh milk.

This summer, as with every summer, has been plagued with waste due to customers not telling us they are on holiday (56 kg of fruit and veg and 20 pints of milk last week alone).
I do not want to create any waste as a business (and I do achieve this in normal circumstances) so I have decided to stop selling milk from this point onwards.
Apologises to those who are good at remembering to book holidays and have been enjoying milk deliveries from us but the risk is not worth the reward.

----------

Next week is all about locally grown Leeds produce.
There are 30 different veg varieties and one fruit variety all grown within LS postcodes next week.

The harvest with Living Potential went well two weeks ago and we are trying to build up a regular supply chain. Last week we harvested over 200 portions of veg for our Thursday customers.
Next week I will be going to the farm in Sicklinghall on Monday and Wednesday morning to collect produce to be packed into your boxes for delivery on Tuesday and Thursday. Everything will be harvested by Passion4Plants and Living Potential on Monday and Wednesday morning to be with you in most cases with 24 hours. 
Thankfully with this set up, I wont be required to help with harvesting!

Next week Living Potential have most of their crops in good numbers, they include

Spring onions - white lisbon
Lettuce - saladini
Courgette - variety
Squash - patty pan
French bean - maxidor yellow
Runner bean - lady di
French bean - Merveille de premont
Rainbow chard
Kale - Cavolo Nero
Kale - Red Russian
Parsley - Curly leaf Frise Vert Fonce
Parsley - Flat leaf gigante di Napoli
Salad bag (with nasturtium, borage flowers)
Beetroot - Boltardy (variety of colours)
Mint - variety

Amazingly, despite both growing near each other geographically, Passion4Plants has a fairly different looking offering including some new products of sorrel, new potatoes, edible flowers, blackberries and tomatoes. Their offering is much more limited in numbers but includes..

Microgreens
Tendril Pea Shoots
Fresh Bay Leaves
Living Herb Pot - Basil
Sorrel - bunch
Mixed Salad Leaves
Potatoes - Casablanca
French Beans - Cosse Violette
Garlic Bulb - Printanor (sold out)
Cucumber - La Diva

Strawberry Plant
Tomatoes Mixed Punnet
Edible Flowers - Marigold

We are operating as normal for the bank holiday next week, so expect your delivery as normal.

Have a great bank holiday weekend.
Thanks
Sam
