Clevedon Herbs & Produce

Just a quick note to say that we will be at all the markets tomorrow (Howick, Britomart and Mairangi Bay) no matter if it is rain, hail or shine.

The Britomart market will most likely be indoors tomorrow in the Union Fish Building.  Our stall will be situated just outside the building.  Please see below for more information.

We have been picking and packing all the herbs and produce in torrential rain today!  Quite a bit of flooding around the property and the gutters on our original greenhouse which was built in 1984 didn’t cope very well with so much rain.  Quite a large puddle or should I say Olympic size swimming pool has appeared!  Hopefully it will disappear tomorrow.

Our Grapefruit tree is laden with fruit that have just turned so we will be selling ‘Marmalade Grapefruit’ for the next couple of weeks.  The reason why they are ‘marmalade grapefruit’ is because the fruit still has quite a sharp tangy flavour which is perfect for marmalade but not so perfect for eating the fruit as it is.
