An update from the Market Stall – April/May 2022
Our current ‘best in season’ recommendation goes to new-in English asparagus, alongside Cornish New Potatoes which have now reduced in price as there is a more plentiful supply.
Cornish cauliflowers are also still available, and King Edward and Maris Piper potatoes are now back in stock. Other Devon produce includes parsnips, swede and celeriac.
From further afield, English broad beans are now available.
Cabbage varieties are currently very limited and pricey, so customers’ best buy at the moment is spring greens.
There is a limited supply of salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber and peppers) in the market currently due to various factors, but prices will be coming down as supplies increase from homegrown (UK) and Dutch produce over the coming weeks.
Local rhubarb is now in with Cape and New Zealand apples arriving shortly – currently apple varieties are still limited to Gala, Braeburn and Bramley.
Soft fruit including raspberries, blueberries and strawberries are now in stock at reducing prices.

An update from the Market Stall – October 2021
At the moment it’s proving particularly challenging to source fresh, local produce. The supply issue is in part due to the lack of people to harvest in Devon and Cornwall, which has also increased prices.
That said, this month’s local and good value produce highlights include Cox’s and Russet’s English apples, President plums, parsnips, cauliflower, Savoy cabbage, celeriac and squashes of all types.
Soft fruits including English strawberries and raspberries are also still going for a few weeks and local pumpkins are available for the end of the month.
From overseas, peaches, nectarines, figs are still available.
