Our recipe section has a range of home-style cooking and meal ideas to use those delicious organic vegetables you have worked so hard to grow. Now time to reap the benefits!
You can of course, use our recipes as a guide and tweak them to suit your own tastes. They are in the main, written by somebody who loves food and doesn't measure anything so we hope you enjoy our 'rustic' take on the selection of dishes here. We have recipes by vegetable, fruit, nuts or herbs and soups, which are extremely versatile as well as some fabulous and inspiring Canning & Preserving recipes and information from our lovely friend at LoveJars - Rosie.
You can also submit your recipes and we will share them on our Growers' Recipes section!

Quick and simple to make and you can fill your muffins with anything you please - asparagus, peas, broccoli florets to name a few and if you like to include some 'protein' you could add bacon pieces, sausage slices and more. Feta chunks work well too. How about a sprinkle of herbs or spices? For a sweet morning treat you can use banana and other fruits. Please create your own chosen muffins, with a little help from us.
