Hello Folks, Covid-19 update Our big Locavore-wide update is avaliable to read here, and the biggest vegboxes update is here, but here are the headlines for this week. As always, the situation is evolving quickly, so we’d appreciate it if you could read the following carefully. Adjusting delivery days From this week, we’ll be moving…

Hello Folks, Covid-19 update We shared our big update with you last week, so read it here if you missed it. There’s lots of useful info in there. The latest Locavore-wide Covid-19 update is here. We do have a few updates for this week, though, and we ask that you read them carefully. Please shop…

Covid-19 Update Hi folks, let’s start with the serious stuff.  We know that our veg boxes are a really important thing right now for a lot of you. It matters to us that we can help you get hold of local organic produce and staples. Good food can do an awful lot in difficult times,…

Hello Folks, It’s a bit of an anxious time, huh? When I get anxious, I love to cook. I think it’s some kind of protective instinct: if my cupboards and my fridge are full, if I have food for myself & my community, then surely everything will be OK. It’s a way to care for…

Hello Folks, Let’s continue our tour of the underappreciated staples and turn our gaze to the humble onion. An onion is a game of pass the parcel for one. It is a package of flavour wrapped in brown paper. When you unwrap it, the flesh is pale and translucent. Raw, it is fierce. It adds…

Hello Folks, Potatoes. I love them. They aren’t the most glamorous of veg (that is, of course, the artichoke). What they are is delicious, and also versatile. They go well with any other veg you can think of- certainly everything that’s in our veg boxes this week. You might just have to experiment with them…
