December at Flourish
As we head into the festive season, the farm is full of colour, activity, and delicious things growing quietly beneath the winter light. Here’s the latest from the fields – and a big festive invitation to shop local with us this year. You’ll also find three sumptuous festive recipes towards the end of this email to get you thinking ahead to special meals, and possibly ordering a Christmas Produce Box to see you through the season…
Here on the farm the team have been busy sorting through the squash stores (see below), removing anything that’s not perfect – so everything you take home is at its very best. Our Koginut squash is still curing, concentrating its sweetness and developing its silky texture. Once ready, it’s set to be one of the stars of the winter offering. The team have also been busy meticulously hand weeding the salad tunnels to keep on top of the chickweed – our biggest winter competitor. It’s time-consuming work, but the result is the beautiful winter salads you’ll find in the Farm Shop. Speaking of which, you’ll find SmallTown’s mince pies on the counter every week from Fridays to Sundays in the run-up to Christmas.
Keeping it Local this Month
This December, more than ever, shopping at the Farm Shop makes a huge difference – to the people, the land, and the sustainability of our community.
Every purchase directly supports local growers, makers, bakers, and producers, helping small businesses thrive in a challenging landscape.
Our produce comes straight from the fields or from trusted artisan suppliers. No long supply chains, no unknown origins – just food to feel good about.
Foodie gifts made with care. Handmade homewares with a story. Ceramics crafted by local artists – come and see the treasures we’ve lovingly sourced!
Shorter transport routes = lower carbon footprint. Plus, sustainable farming and ethical production practices are at the heart of what we do.
Your festive food shop helps us continue to steward the land, grow beautiful seasonal crops, and keep real farming alive.
