“During the winter season, we always expect to sell a lot more cauliflower. So having suppliers like Staples to produce fresh and firm, white cauliflower with luscious green leaves, we know our customers will be happy. The cauliflowers in store now are perfect.”
“Normally we’d have experienced some frost in the field but because it’s been unusually mild and wet this year, we’ve not had any. The growing conditions have been ideal and as a result the cauliflower is deliciously fresh and tender.”
“Now is the perfect time for our customers to pop into their local Morrisons and make the most of our crunchy, fresh cauliflower. They can even use it to make the perfect cauliflower cheese.”
“When we’re buying quality British lamb we look for a few things. As well as checking the weight and fat content, it’s also important that the sheep enjoy a high quality of life – not just to us, but our customers too. We know that quality farmers produce quality stock. David’s sheep are happy sheep which we believe makes the meat very tender and flavoursome.”
“Our ewes have been really fertile this year and the majority of them are pregnant with twins. The grass has been wonderful too – as good as it’s ever been thanks to ideal weather conditions. The sheep eat what they like, go where they like, do what they like and sleep where they like – now that’s free range! They’re all looking happy and well and we’re now looking forward to the lambs being born mid January.”
“Our spring greens were planted in September and are growing steadily in Lincolnshire and Suffolk. The main challenge is to keep them protected and healthy, but thanks to the mild winter, we’re looking forward to a mid-December crop that’ll be full of flavour. Spring greens are ideal to include into a stir-fry as they retain all the delicious juices.”
