Good afternoon,

We've adjusted our butchery schedule and now have Sussex Wagyu available for collection on Friday & Saturday this week. Plus some Sussex beef and plenty of delicious Shrub Provisions boxes.

Writer Sarah Langford posted this on instagram last week and I thought it would be churlish to try and paraphrase...

I remember Tim Siadatan - co-founder of Trullo & Padella restaurants and all round star chef - telling me about his gateway food. It was a tomato. He bit into one in Italy. It was then he realised what a tomato could taste like. Should taste like.
I have had a few moments like that over the last few years. One of them happened recently after visiting Trenchmore Farm and going away with some of their wagyu beef burgers and steaks. We BBQd the burgers and ate them in the woods.
They tasted - genuinely - like no burger I've ever had. The kind of food that makes everyone go quiet and then start murmuring.
I took many things away from that farm visit but one was the level of knowledge the farmer had about what goes into the taste of our food. How we grow it, what it's fed - whether a plant or an animal - directly affects how it tastes. Of course it does. We are what we eat, and we are what we eat eats too.

You'll be pleased to see we have restocked with burgers this week.

Moo love x
