News and Updates
The apples are now all new season from either the U.K. or France. We will supply any new variety of British apples as soon as it becomes available in the market. So far we have used: Discovery, Worcester and Cox and hopefully there will be considerably more varieties to follow. The pears at the moment are Williams, from Italy, and these will soon be replaced with Conference and Comice from the U.K. Hopefully these will be from the same grower that we have used for the past 30 years. The citrus fruit we are using at the moment are Nadracotts, which come from South Africa. These are easy to peel, seedless, juicy and very tasty. I think that these will be available for another month before being replaced by Satsuma’s and Clementines from Spain. Minneolas are also available now and although these are even juicier than the Nadracott they are not quite as sweet but if anyone wants to try them please let us know. All of the berries are still good but we will now be switching to strawberries from Belgium and Holland rather than using the locally grown English. However the Raspberries, Blueberries and Blackberries are all from the U.K. Other fruits worth eating at the moment are the Shelly mangos from Israel and the red seedless strawberry grape from Italy. Either of these fruits can be added to the regular orders as extras. New season figs, from Greece, (Black) and Lebanon (Green) have also started and can also be added to regular orders. This time of year is very interesting for vegetables and we are supplying a good selection of Squash and Pumpkin. The French pumpkin can be supplied ready peeled in any quantity required with recipes if needed. Also there are different varieties of chard as well as Black cabbage (great for soups)! For further information about the availability of other fruits and vegetables please give Andy a call.
Christmas Trees At Ripe we supply only one variety of Christmas tree – The Nordman Fir. This is because it is probably the best, and certainly the most popular of trees. Often known as the ‘King of Christmas Trees’ it is thought to have originated in, or was at least first found in, the mountains of Russia. The shape of the tree is nearly perfect, its needle retention is very good, especially if you add water to the stand, and the aroma it gives off is just ‘Christmas’! Our trees range from 4ft to 10ft. Our service includes the delivery of the tree, the putting up, taking down and removing. We will do our best to clean up but unfortunately that may not be to your standard - we do try! For regular customers of Ripe we will lend you the perfect stand and if it is required the following year then you do not have to search for it because we will have it safe, with your name on it. Prices: Trees on Blocks are freestanding no need for support 3-4 ft Blocked £30-£35 4-5 ft Blocked £45-£50 5-6 ft Blocked £55-£60 Larger Trees have not been blocked due to their size and will need a stand, we will supply the stand for a charge of £20 the stand will hold water end is easy to use. 6 ft Unblocked £65 7-9 ft Unblocked £75-£95 9+ ft Unblocked £120 ans upwards Please contact Andy for availability, prices and delivery information. |
