A Taste Of The Season: Why Our Veg Boxes Might Be Just What You Need This Summer And Beyond

There’s something a bit magical about eating in rhythm with the seasons.

Right now at Fossoway Stables, the Market Garden is bursting into full summer ... green and yellow courgettes are curling into shape, tomatoes are beginning to ripen, and the aromatic herbs and salad leaves are growing in every direction. Abundance that makes you want to cook, to gather, to slow down and to share.

And that’s exactly why we started our seasonal veg boxes ...

Every week, we harvest a mix of what’s growing best in the garden and bring it together in simple, generous boxes for you to enjoy at home. No air miles, no chemicals, no plastic, just beautiful, nourishing food, grown a few hundred metres from where you’ll pick it up or we can deliver locally too.

So, what’s in the box?

Each week is a little different, which is part of the joy. Depending on the time of year, you might find:

• crisp courgettes

• sweet cherry tomatoes

• rainbow chard and kale

• baby carrots and heritage beetroot

• earthy potatoes and bountiful broccoli

• salad leaves, edible flowers, fresh herbs

• plus the occasional surprise: rhubarb or our powerful garlic

  
  

We’ll always include easy recipe suggestions to help you make the most of every leaf and stem.

And you can also add extras like:

• our free-range hen eggs from our Fossoway Flock - mostly rescued hens now 🥚

• delicious sourdough loaves

• natural, raw, local honey from just 5 miles down the road

• and from time to time, homemade chutneys and jams from the Potting Shed kitchen (we're working on developing these extras)

  
  

Why choose a Fossoway veg box?

There are plenty of great veg boxes out there. But, we believe, ours is a little different and deeply personal.

You’re not just buying veg ... you’re supporting:

• a family-run estate rooted in slow, sustainable living

• a place where children play and learn in the woodland, where nature is protected and planted for the future

• a local food system that puts flavour, freshness, and care first

• a business built on community, conversation, and a love of the land

  
  

Our veg is grown with respect for the soil and the seasons, and we only pick what’s ready so every box reflects the landscape and weather of the week it was grown in. That connection to place, to time, to the real story of our food that’s what we want to share with you.

Slow food, local roots

We know life is full and shopping locally can sometimes feel like just one more thing on the list. But having a veg box waiting for you each week is a gentle reminder to eat well, cook simply, and stay connected to something real.

If you’re curious, we’d love you to try a box and see what the season tastes like.

As always, thank you for supporting what we do.
