Rhubarb crop ready

Rhubarb crop Apr 2020

This is our first rhubarb crop of the year and it's ready for picking. Normally, we would take most of it to the farm shop where we sell our eggs but the shop has been closed for most of April and will not open until 18th May. That means much more of the rhubarb crop will need to be turned into preserves though some has gone into the freezer and some will go into pies and crumbles. Hopefully the second crop will be able to make its way to the shop.

We are however selling some of the rhubarb this Saturday. The Whinnies Community Garden where we rent our 2 allotments will be running a pop up shop for 2 hours (1-3pm) on Saturday 9th May. Our eggs will also be on sale as well. Social distancing will be adhered to at all times. The Whinnies will also be selling their preserves and plants.
