A bit about Fruit & Veg

Dorset isn’t one of the country’s great vegetable producing counties. However we do have locally grow vegetables, including watercress. Vegetables are of course seasonal, and fruit is even more so. We start in early spring with asparagus and rhubarb and then strawberries and soft fruit through the summer. The strawberries will go on until October and apples will be with us until after Christmas.
