August in the North East sees .....
Soft fruit – late strawberries galore, raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants
Seasonal veg include peas, beans, broccoli, new potatoes and tomatoes
Salads and herbs of all varieties
And the new season hill lamb will be ready towards the end of the month – also the first of this year’s heather honey.
The hens, ducks and geese are laying well - plenty of free range eggs to be had.
And of course - there are always the great Northumbrian cheeses, ham, bacon, sausages - not to mention conserves and chutneys.
