"Farming from a beautiful part of the world in Extremadura, Spain, our grower Antonio is a real believer in the power of biodiversity on his farm. In fact, it was the first farm in Extremedura that became 100% organic. “The main thing about organic farming is the soil. You need only the plants, insects and trees to balance the soil. If you can imagine, 14 years ago there was no life here on the farm. With organic fertilisation, with the plants, herbs and the leaves of the trees we have created life in the soil. Do you know there’s more life in a small amount soil than the population on Earth? We hope to preserve the balance for years and years. Some of our fruit trees are 40 years old. In conventional farming this would never be possible.” Antonio calls his farm one of the best places to grow in all of Spain. “I love organic farming, it’s a pleasure.” "

Abel & Cole handles celery, celeriac, peanuts and nuts on site. Due to our packing process and re-use of boxes there is a risk of cross-contamination from these, and all other allergens.

We tend to send out our fruit slightly under-ripe, to buy you some time with them. If you're unsure whether or not your peaches are ripe, smelling them is probably the easiest way to tell: if they smell the way you want them to taste, they're good to go. They'll be a bit softer to the touch too once they're ready to be eaten. If you feel they still need to ripen somewhat, just leave them out in your fruit bowl, there's no need to pop them in the fridge. Then just keep an eye on them! Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
