Comments for Home Farm Nacton http://homefarmnacton.co.uk Organic and LEAF marque vegetables from Suffolk Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:31:44 +0000 hourly 1 Comment on One of Britain’s most beautiful farms by josiah http://homefarmnacton.co.uk/one-of-britains-most-beautiful-farms/comment-page-1/#comment-134 josiah Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:31:44 +0000 http://new.homefarmnacton.co.uk/?p=74#comment-134 Hi Dr Slee, Thank you so much for taking the time to find our website and leave a comment! It's great to get feedback, particularly about crops like the potatoes that are often taken for granted but are a big part of our work on the farm - we're very proud of them! You might find this article from the Scottish Crop Research Institute interesting: http://www.scri.ac.uk/news/umami it speculates as to why the phureja potato varieties (like Twilight Inca) taste so much better. The season for Mayan Twilight begins in about August when the skins set and we can lift and store them, from then on they're stored so to answer your question about how long we'll have them - it rather depends on how quickly they sell and how much we grow... (which I know isn't all that helpful). They should keep quite well in your fridge (dark and cool) but I wouldn't hang onto them for too long. Have you tried the Mayan Gold? It's a fantastic roaster - steam it (don't boil as it breaks up) then roast in a very hot oven - really crunchy and crusty on the outside and fluffy in the middle. My favourite! Best wishes, Josiah Hi Dr Slee,

They are the best vegetables I have ever eaten - thank you, thank you, thank you, Home Farm team - taste, freshness and great value. I've only ever eaten curly kale from the supermarket before (never again!) - and didn't even know what the lovely long leafy vegetable was until I asked - at the supermarket it only comes already ripped in pieces in a plastic bag...and is a very pale imitation of your delicious, energy-giving, so-fresh-it's-as-though-it's-still-growing variety. I would happily eat nothing but your vegetables for the rest of my life.

I stopped on Saturday morning by the A12 to buy some of your wonderful vegetables. A first time for me as I do not live locally. I have never before tasted such wonderfully fresh, flavoursome and healthy looking produce.

Many thanks

We sell a range of your vegetables. I am contacting the various farms who's produce we sell with the interest of staying on a farm for a week in the middle of August to offer my assistance in exchange for bed and board. I would like to gain an experience of the organic farming process and of the environmental origins of the food we stock in our shop. I have joined WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) who have a list of farms which, in exchange for 5 hours work a day, offer bed and board for interested volunteer workers. However, the farms who's produce we sell are not listed in the WWOOF website, so I am contacting you directly. I partricularly like the look of Home Farm Nacton with it's location and mix of habitats near woodland and estuary. Please let me know ASAP if you could accomodate me in such an arrangement. Many thanks. Hello
