Veg news
 This week sees a flurry of wonderful summer crops from Lincolnshire and closer to home… round & yellow courgettes with soft edible skins, marrows and the first of Strawberry Fields’ summer squashes. UK French & flat beans are staring to come through in greater volumes, and there are some great early root crops (carrots & turnips). On the flipside, a wet week means that it has not been possible to pick berries & currants, so the range of local soft fruits is limited. Fingers crossed for sunshine over the weekend and a better selection next week! Fortunately we do have a good supply of delicious UK cherries for the start of the weekend!
In Europe, this week sees the start of the European butternut, pumpkin and sweet potato season. While stone fruits continue to offer great flavour (look out in particular for good value French apricots & Spanish plums).

Co-operative Fortnight 19 June - 3 July
The first ever Co-operatives Fortnight was a call for people to do things differently – to work together as individuals, colleagues, communities and businesses.
We made a little film set in the shop to mark the Fortnight, follow the link at the bottom. We also celebrated co-ops fortnight with several events in and out of the shop.
