10/07/23 – Freshly harvested carrots, Broad beans, mange tout, salad, spring onions, rhubarb and herbs for sale now at the garadh. The freshest veg you’ll find on Barra!

 

09/06/23 – That’s the leeks planted, 600 plants, 2 varieties, Winter Giant and Winner. Sown in deep trays of peat free compost in gentle warmth in March and planted out this morning. Ready to harvest from September onwards. Leeks contain more vitamin C than oranges and most of this is in the green leaf not the white shaft. So don’t waste all that goodness when you get it in the kitchen!
