****Update for veg bag orders and pick ups this Wednesday May 2****

Hope everyone is enjoying their veg bags!!

The order this week should be: carrots, chestnut mushrooms, leeks, purple sprouting broccoli, salad leaves with some alfalfa fenugreek sprouts & rainbow chard --all from UK except the chard from Spain.

Pick up will be again from 1 to 2 in the main hallway. If you can’t make it for this time, please send us an email or message us through here BEFORE Wednesday 🙂

Also Natalia from the co-op will be around uni tomorrow to pick up ALL bags given with the veg bags from last week. Find her in the main hallway before 1 as the bags will be picked up then. We are trying to reuse the bags as much as possible to reduce our waste and minimize costs for everyone, so we appreciate your help.

Also, in case you’re struggling with what to do with last week’s veg and need some inspiration, this recipe was amazing as a side with the Jerusalem artichokes and potatoes

A classic boulangere is sliced potatoes, onions and stock, baked until tender - think a healthier version of dauphinoise. This recipe uses seasonal Jerusalem artichokes aswell.

The veg bags will be ready for pick up by 12:15 and should be picked up no later than 14:00.

Again, any problems please let us know :)

*** Veg bag pick-up tomorrow the 25th***

For those of you who bought veg bags, the first week’s bags are being delivered tomorrow at City. You can pick your bags up from us between 1:30 and 4, however the earlier the better. We’ll have a table in the main hallway of Northampton square.

Our supplier has also asked us to reuse the bags used for the veg. So we would ask you to bring your own or to please return the bags given to you by latest this Friday.

Any questions, please let us know 🙂

Update on veg bag delivery and pick up hours coming soon!
