Say hello to Lorna and Fraser! They are the next g Say hello to Lorna and Fraser! They are the next generation of blackcurrant growers and the children of Andrew and Julie Husband 👋Based in Scotland, Dundee, the Husband family have been growing blackcurrants for over 30 years, with their yearly harvest of juicy berries all being sent to @ribenauk.Frazer, with a Rural Business Management Degree, works full time on the family farm. He spent most of 2018 travelling, working in vineyards and visiting many blackcurrant growers while in New Zealand before returning to work at the farm.Currently studying for a degree in International Tourism and Hospitality Management in Edinburgh, Lorna has worked on the back of the blackcurrant harvester for the past five years. She also helps sell blackcurrants and blueberries in their pop up summer farm stand and started her own candle company, @stickleback.co, during the lockdown.We are looking forward to seeing more of Lorna and Frazer later in the year!
Today we're celebrating #NationalVitaminCDay... Bu Today we're celebrating #NationalVitaminCDay... But do you know what is jam-packed full of this essential nutrient? You guessed it, the blackcurrant!Weight for weight, blackcurrants contain four times the amount of vitamin C than oranges. Adding a handful of these tiny berries to your diet can help maintain healthy skin, blood vessels, bones and cartilage, protect your cells, and even heal wounds. The human body cannot make vitamin C, so we must eat foods containing it, preferably every day.It may be Easter Sunday, but we hope amongst all the chocolate and feasting you're still getting your daily dose of this essential nutrient. Let us know how in the comments below! 👇
