When in season our UK parsnips are grown by Dan Geity on Home Farm, in Ormskirk. Farming from a gorgeous part of the country, Dan's a laid back, salt of the earth chap who grows fantastic onions, Chioggia beetroot and other veg for us throughout the year.
When we can't source from the UK, we get our Parsnips from the Netherlands, grown by Jan van Geffen and his son Sam. Jan was amongst the first farmers who settled in the Flevopolder, a reclaimed and very fertile part of Holland. Besides growing parsnips they have specialised in various lesser known vegetables such as black salsify, parsley root and Jerusalem artichoke.

A perfect addition to any roast dinner. You do not need to keep your parsnips in your fridge; they are a relatively tough root vegetable. Keep them in a cool dark cupboard, unwrapped, or in a paper bag. Suitable for home freezing.
