Eating seasonally is one of life’s simplest joys. Not only do seasonal fruits and vegetables taste better, but they’re also fresher, more nutritious, and kinder to the planet.
At Cotswold Veg Box, we believe in celebrating the changing seasons with a delicious array of local, seasonal produce delivered straight to your door. Here’s our friendly guide to what’s in season and why it matters.
Spring breathes new life into the fields, bringing crisp and vibrant greens to our plates. This is the season of rejuvenation, where lighter, fresher flavors come to the forefront.
