That was so Town Mill could work out an old-fashioned solution to the problem of keeping bread fresh, without using science to artificially extend its life. And they have come up with an ingenious plan – removing a splash of olive oil and adding a dash more milk. This means they can use less yeast, making the bread lighter and keeping it fresh for longer. Town Mill’s bread is made from scratch with no added preservatives, stabilisers or unnecessary additives. So you get extra fresh, great tasting bread, delivered to your door the same morning it’s baked. And now it lasts longer than ever. We don’t yet deliver bread to Cornwall, Wales, South East England or London, but we hope to soon, working with regional bakeries that offer great quality and flavour. Watch this space.

We did take off the box contents as customers were asking for more recipes and help in using up the boxes. However, we have kept the information about source of box contents on "this week's boxes" on our website. You'll notice through the winter months we have a Roots + Greens box which is sourced predominantly from our farm and local growers which not only gives it the lightest carbon footprint but also one of our best value boxes. thanks for your thoughts on the newsletter.

I would like to see the return of this information. It was taken off for more room for recipes, if customers need more recipes I suggest they buy your excellent book, the list also explained what some of the more unusual vegetables are. I hope others are in agreement. Have been getting a vegetable box for many years now and enjoyed seeing how much of the food was produced in the uk.

Could you also give tips on how to store or freeze veg. I've just finished my brussell sprouts as I managed to save some. I try to waste as little as possible through the year and still manage to have veg in freezer for the week after Christmas or when coming back from a hoilday, without having to go to the supermarket.
