Shell your peas and drop them into a pan of boiling salted water, simmer them for 2 - 3 minutes. Add some fresh mint to the cooking water if you like! Plunge the peas into cold water and drain them, saving their water! Meanwhile top and tail the pods and cook them (in just enough boiling water to cover them) for about five minutes or so until tender. Tip the pods and their cooking water into a food processor or blender and 'zuzz' them up for a while .... until you can push them through a sieve. You will have a nice thick bright green pulp now. Sieve the pod puree discard any pea pod pulp which will not go through your sieve! Rinse out your processor and add the sieved pod pulp, cooked peas and their water together and blend again. Return to a pan, and adjust the thickness with water or milk, bring briefly to boiling point and reduce the heat immediately. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a little cream or creme fraiche and stir to warm through gently. Delicious with a few tiny crispy pieces of organic bacon on the top, some paprika and fresh warm bread.

THE FUTURE OF TREVALON
Trevalon is 16.5 acres of farmland near Herodsfoot. It is south facing with small fields surrounded by mature hedges. There is a stream, woodland, springs, ponds, orchard, vegetable plots and grassland. It is organic certified and is a haven for wildlife.
Currently the land is used to grow fruit and vegetables supplying 80 vegetable boxes a week, delivered to homes in SE Cornwall. We sell four sizes of vegetable box, £6, £10, £13 and £16.
Trevalon now wants to open to the community, and give you the chance to help manage the land, take part in growing your own food on community plots and allotments, and become involved in making Trevalon more sustainable.
This is your chance to become involved in Trevalon Community Supported Agriculture Project (CSA) and create a partnership between the farmer and the community, working together to produce local healthy food at affordable prices.
What are the BENEFITS OF A CSA?
A chance to receive FRESH FOOD from a known local source,
A sense of BELONGING TO A COMMUNITY, an opportunity to CONNECT WITH THE LAND, have access to the farm for EDUCATION, WORK and LEISURE, play an active part in SUPPORTING A LOCAL SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE.
A Community Cooperative has been formed, called Trevalon Organic Cooperative, The public meeting is a chance to come and find out more and get involved. If you want to put forward ideas and discuss the many possibilities you are invited to join and attend the AGM for members.
Small farms are a valuable part of the local economy and landscape. They need your support. Producing food locally is an important part of creating a sustainable future, reducing food miles and carbon emissions and increasing healthy lifestyles.
