Weather is the main driving force to seasonal change & fresh produce can unfortunately become quickly affected.

We understand that sometimes there's not much scope to change menus, but when Mother Nature strikes, sometimes items can become hugely affected quickly.

Keep your eyes peeled on this page to see what should be avoided.

We are still seeing some issues with supply of grapes following last months hurricanes. things should start to get better soon

We are currently going through a change in season, with the Belgian and Dutch season ending we will move into Egyptian. Prices will be HUGE so please becareful

There is plenty of availability for peeled or prepared sprouts. However, we would recommend pre-ordering to make sure you dont get let down.

The pumpkin season has now finished for another year, Muscade pumpkins and Crown Prince squash will still be available as imported produce.

Forced rhubarb is currently available, however this is imported from Holland & stocks are low. The quality is fantastic but becareful!

We are expecting the stock of oranges to be potentially problematic due to the floods in Spain. Fruit will be available from further afield, however, this may be at a higher cost.

Quality will be improving as we move into the winter season but prices will start to climb so becareful

Due to the high winds we are seeing some supply issues with limes, however this should start to improve soon.

The quality of plums has been problematic, however, we are starting to see some improvements and things should stabilise through these next couple of weeks

Particularly Good Potatoes

Particularly Good supply us with top quality prepared potato products straight into Delifresh for our customers.

The team at PGP have now made a commitment to embracing a carbon neutral farm with sustainable farming and packaging.

“From the way we farm the soil, right through to our packaging, we are committed to implementing comprehensive measures that address our environmental impact throughout the entire supply chain,” explains Mark Robson, founder of Particularly Good Ltd.

“Today, we proudly announce our commitment to the path of carbon neutrality. Particularly Good Ltd has always been dedicated to delivering top-quality produce, and now we are extending that commitment not only to the environment, but to the planet.”

The fields where the potatoes are grown aren’t ploughed, ensuring the soil structure stays in place and carbon is kept in the ground. Cover crops are also planted in the fields to capture carbon, nitrogen and maintain the condition of the soil.

Looking ahead, there are also plans to add in another 4,820m (3 miles) of new hedgerows, in addition to the existing 22 miles of hedgerows already planted. This will help to support the diverse pollinators that are essential for crop pollination and crop yields.

In terms of practices on site, the water for washing potatoes goes through a full cycle. It is first supplied by a borehole on site, then the used water is stored in a holding tank to allow sediment to sink. The sediment is then spread on the fields, saving the use of human-made fertiliser. Any other solids are then fed to cattle. Maintaining habitats, recycling, reducing effluent and staff involvement are other areas of focus.

“Currently, there is an equivalent of 2,000,000 tonnes of potatoes imported into the UK from other countries,” explains Mark. “More specifically, the same variety of potato that we produce here is imported from Egypt. 100% of our produce is grown by us, therefore, it’s important that we make our own improvements where possible, including where our potatoes are sourced from.

“This journey towards carbon neutrality is not only an investment in the environment, but also a testament to our responsibility as stewards of the land.

“Our overall aim is to set an industry standard for environmentally responsible farming.”

How amazing is all of this, interviewed by the Northumberland Gazette, we are so proud to have such a fantastic company as our prepared potato product supplier! In turn, you are also helping to be more sustainable by choosing these products!
