Nutt Ranch

Golden Mile
It's a busy time at Golden Mile Produce with new seasons crops being planted and Marlborough hosting lots of fun festivals and events. It was nice to meet so many new customers at the 150th A & P Show and last Sunday's annual Marlborough Garden Fete.
Strawberries are picking beautifully with some BIG sized fruit and the new seasons courgettes are always delicious. Courgettes or zucchinis are so versatile, grated or sliced, baked, grilled or pan fried. We use them in everything from cakes, loaves & muffins to quiches, fritters & stir-fry. Try cutting them in half long ways, seasoning them, drizzle with a little Marlborough olive oil and grilling in the oven or air-frier. In the last couple of minutes top with a little grated cheese.
Did you know we grow our early courgettes inside? Yes it's true! See you Sunday.
Minghetties
Minghettis will have our famous sourdough bread, treat cookies, and cinnamon rolls
SharpAS Tool Tip
Pictured is the business end of a petrol hedge trimmer. This one relies on a torque setting on the bolts for the correct tension on the blades. It is important to get this right. Too tight or too loose and it will damage the blades.
If you have one of these or any garden, wood working, or metal tools, knives or kitchen utensils that need sharpening, come and see me at the market or contact 0274445535 cheers Ron
See you Sunday, 9 to noon, A&P showgrounds.
