CHESTNUTS
Albias, France
September - December
In the south of France, Aurélien and Marion have just begun the Chestnut season. We’re starting with medium sizes, moving soon to larger calibers, and the Bétizac and Marsol varieties will last right through Christmas.
Over fifteen years, Aurélien has transformed the farm from conventional to minimum intervention, focusing on light, airflow, and precise irrigation. Trees are spaced 10m apart, pruned for sun and oxygen, and watered individually to keep each tree healthy.
Prunings are chipped as compost, enriching the soil, and only two treatments are used each year to maintain the orchard’s delicate bacterial balance. Aurélien is also restoring surrounding land for wildflowers and biodiversity. The only challenge: wild boar, which overturn nuts and can cause large losses, mitigated now with fencing.
Aurélien and Marion are a brother-and-sister team working land their family has farmed north of Toulouse since 1711. Legend has it their ancestor repaid a loan in a single harvest, and today, they continue the family’s self-sufficient approach.
In the 1960s, their father made a bold move, replacing the family’s arable crops with 30 hectares of chestnut trees, a venture that would take nearly a decade to bear fruit.
Meanwhile, their parents produced traditional regional foods like fois gras, charcuterie, and smoked duck breast to sustain the farm. In 2007, they opened L’Embucaïre, a restaurant on the farm serving their own produce and that of local artisans.

CURLY ENDIVE
Pembrokeshire, Wales
September - November
Also known as Frisée, this leafy, slightly bitter green descended from wild chicory. As a member of the chicory family, Endive has a crisp texture and a subtle, nutty sweetness.
We started sourcing this variety for the first time last year, and it’s grown outdoors in Adam’s sandy soils, where it develops a delicate minerality and rich nutrient base that make it truly special.
At this time of year, Adam is also harvesting a wealth of other produce including Tatsoi, Cavolo Nero, Kalette Tops, Mixed Radicchio, Puntarelle, Green Tomatoes, Kalibos Cabbage, Green Kale, and Rainbow Chard, bringing a full spectrum of greens to your table.
Adam runs a 25 acre farm within the Pembrokeshire National Park that he set up with his partner, Dee. Adam is driven by an agroecological philosophy: strengthening the ecology around the farm in order to build soil health and resilience while growing flavour-first vegetables.
His ultimate goal is to turn the vegetable production – currently close to 200 varieties of nearly 60 crops – into an agroforestry system, with strips of apple trees interspersed with banks of untilled ground, boosted by cover crops and grasses. Everything is sown from seed on the farm, and Adam often sources heritage varieties from their native regions.
LATE
SPANISH MANGOES
Málaga, Spain
September - October
This week we’re moving from the delicate Irwin to the Kent variety, marking the final stretch of the mango harvest in Spain.
Unlike Irwin, which holds well on the tree until perfectly ripe, Kent Mangoes are harvested a little earlier and gently brought on in warm rooms. While the sugar levels (Brix) don’t reach quite as high, the result is a fresh, balanced flavour that sets them apart.
Now’s the perfect time to enjoy the last taste of Spanish Mangoes before the season comes to a close.

We exist to fix the food system.
People are more cut off from the origins of their food than ever. This makes flavour, nutrition and farming practices that protect the planet, almost impossible to find.
By working directly with growers, we create a more sustainable way forward for farming. By giving everyone the tools to understand the power of our food choices, we empower everybody to become drivers of change.
Now is the time for action. Join the food system revolution.
