Farmer George Bennett at Sandy Lane Farm -in Tiddington near Thame- claims that 2021 will go down as the ‘year of the brassica’. Brussels sprouts, cabbages, kale and cauliflowers; all these members of the brassica family have produced a bountiful harvest.
Bennett said that this year’s sprout harvest is the best he can remember in his ten years at the farm. The team at Sandy Lane Farm will be harvesting sprouts on stalks the traditional way for their Christmas Veg box deliveries and to stock the farm shop for the Christmas week.
