Farmer Noleen: The chosen one. 3,2,1 Good Gut is Go!

Chris' newsletter

6th May 2015

If Keanu Reeve’s Neo was The One who intuitively knows The Matrix then Noleen Glavish is The One who truly knows pumpkins.  After a career as a publisher Noleen has found her calling in the hills around Buxton as a grower.  Each Monday Noleen rolls up in her Landcruiser and pulls out boxes of some of the best looking fruit and vegetables I’ve ever seen.  Her purple garlic is something to behold.  This week Noleen dropped off this year’s instalment of her wonderful heirloom pumpkins  (which you can find in the webshop).  And with a typically casual, “I don’t know what you might do with it, but I’ve got something for you” she presented the giant boston marrow you see Fair Food driver, Hamid, embracing above.  We’ve made a shrine to it on the lunch table and are wondering what we can do to do justice to this gorgeous gourd.I get a kick out of writing out all of Noleen’s pumpkin varieties  Such ebullient names, this list could be a poem or a song,
