We’ve been lucky enough to have strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and jewel-like red and blackcurrants from Rachel and Martin Soble’s gorgeous Whitethorn Farm in the Herefordshire hills. Martin and Rachel like to do things the old-fashioned way, even if they take more time or offer lower yields. “Flavour and quality are what’s important,” Martin says. That’s why they select traditional varieties and lets the sun and soil do the rest of the work.

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.

Wash the berries gently and dry them on a clean tea towel. If you're not going to eat them straight away you should store the berries in the fridge, preferably in a shallow tray. If you want to keep them for longer, they freeze well. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
