Rhubarb, rhubarb

Posted on May 16, 2013

A tweet from Cultivate, the Oxford-based local food growing and sell-from-veg-van-co-op, a couple of days ago calling for rhubarb:

Now, does anyone have rhubarb in their backgarden going spare?! We're looking for a hyper-local source. We'll pay! Call Doireann 07507566137

I get back to them and all of a sudden find that I’m a supplier. From today my allotment rhubarb glut will be put to good use and earn cash too. First delivery was 5kg. Wholesale price £2 per kg. As Mr Mickawber might have said “Result – happiness”.
