Mind the hungry gap

The hungry gap is the time of year when we've eaten all of the crops that were planted at the end of the summer, but before the spring crops are ready to find their way onto our plates. It’s a time when there tends to be less variety in the boxes and they tend to be more root-veg focused. In the UK it runs from around April - June. We always look for the joy to be found in eating what’s around us and in season. Remember that whilst there may be a short period where the boxes can feel a bit samey, the abundance of summer is just around the corner!
