*Fallen leaves wanted!🍂 If you are in or around the Ipswich area, sweeping leaves from your garden and can’t use them yourself, do consider bagging them up, bringing them to the Farm and adding them to our leaf mould pens! These will help improve our soil for years to come!

What’s in the box this week? Mushrooms, salad mix, a stir-fry mix and and pot of sage. We’re well into the hungry gap now as the winter veg has run out and this seasons crops are still growing. #csafarm #vegbox #suffolk #veggies #lowcarbon #sustainable

What’s in the box this week? Lettuce mix, spinach, purple sprouting broccoli and a pot of oregano. That’s three herbs in three weeks now - they’re so versatile, loaded with vitamins and a great addition to home-cooking. #csafarm #communitysupportedagriculture #herbs #vegbox

What’s in the box this week? Carrots, salad mix, stir fry mix, purple sprouting broccoli, spinach and a pot of chives! Did you know that chive flowers are edible as well as the stem, but if you don’t want to eat them you can leave them for the bees. #csafarm #vegbox #Suffolk

What’s in the box this week? Carrots, purple-sprouting broccoli, spinach, rocket, a lettuce mix and a stir-fry mix. It’s easy to take for granted seasonal, locally-sourced food, although not at @OakTreeLCF - it’s what we’re all about! #csafarm #vegbox #local #growveg #suffolk

What’s in the box this week?! A lot! We’ve got oriental Rosa radishes (they look like carrots), leeks, spinach, purple sprouting broccoli, two bags of stir-fry mix (giant red mustard, mizuna, scarlet and purple frills) and a salad mix #whatsinthebox #csanetwork #csa

Today’s work party has been planting out kohlrabi, a turnip-like brassica. We’re currently limiting the number of households on the farm at one time to six - meaning we can still get a lot done whilst observing government guidelines #csa #csanetwork #growyourown #freshveg

From skylarks to stag beetles - we get all kinds of wildlife at the Oak Tree. On #worldwildlifeday we recognise that sustainable agriculture is dependent upon nature. #nature #sustainable #wildlife #Wildlifeday
