The recent cold weather will likely affect UK grown vegetables.
The South West has a mild climate so our availability on cabbages, kales, swede and cauliflower will be greater compared to some parts further North.
Our environment however has rich sea air and stony soil conditions. This prevents farmers from growing quality carrots or sprouts.
With the cold weather affecting UK grown vegetables, the South West has been so mild that it has advanced the growth of cauliflower this Winter.
Crops that were due to be harvested in December are already being cut. This has created a surplus of supply for now but this will mean cauliflower will likely be in short supply over the Christmas period, resulting in price increases.
Our weekly seasonal guide and market report keeps you informed of any changes based on value, seasonality at source and availability.
