We are now suspending our service until further notice, sorry for any inconvenience.

This means no stalls or deliveries at the moment.

One of our customers, Vera Bradbury from Sharlston, has written us a poem! This is great, and we're all very pleased here in the Hungry Snail Food Co-op.

Thanks Vera, we love you ...@~"

We have bought three times as much rhubarb this week as we always seem to sell out (it's outdoor, not forced, but it is English :-)
