Managed to escape for a one night getaway just down the road and brought along my latest copy of nourish magazine. Have you got yours yet? Reading inside I realised This incredible FREE magazine has been going for around the same time as us! It’s packed with incredible recipes and foodie articles including one featuring ideas for using Sorrel. Super helpful for anyone coming on our organic gardening workshop next week ( a few spaces are still available!) as it’s one of our kitchen garden staples! Pick up a complimentary copy of Nourish from us next time you are up!
