From field to fork: The trials and tribulations of lettuce growing

Hit hard by the freezing cold weather over Christmas, it was certainly touch and go for our lettuces – not only did the first leaves freeze but they also stopped growing. However, with a lot of time, care and consideration, the lettuces slowly began to grow again in February - an achievement thanks to our dedicated horticulture team. Last week, we started to harvest these lettuces and you’ll be pleased to know that they are now available in the Farm store and will be a part of our veg box scheme for the coming weeks. The hard work was definitely worth it – don’t you think so?
