SPRING FRESH

Great greengrocers George, Michael & Simon show us what’s fresh this season.

George, George’s Greens, Haxby

In season right now is the fabulous rhubarb from the Yorkshire rhubarb triangle which is a taste sensation. New potatoes are on their way and we’ve got cauliflower and Yorkshire kale which is really popular with people juicing it for the health benefits. We also get fabulous carrots from Posketts in Goole.

Simon, Millie’s, Bishopthorpe Road

What’s in demand this season are rhubarb, artichokes, leeks and potatoes, which are all local. Carrots, parsnips, savoy cabbage, spring cabbage too - all from Yorkshire and always popular.

Michael, Paleys of Malton

We’ve got local sprouts, leaks, red cabbage, potatoes. Cauliflowers were local back in November but now come all the way from Cornwall. And fabulous dirty carrots from Cawood Bridge up the road - you can’t beat a dirty carrot!
