Thyme Grown by Turf Croft Organic Herbs at Ringwood, Hampshire

£2.55 / 30g

Fresh organic thyme

Thyme is the very definition of herbaceous. It’s a happy bedfellow with all sorts of other flavours, from Sunday roasts to Caribbean curries – and a little goes a long way. You can add it to soups and stews for a slow release of flavour, mix it into a marinade or stuffing for meat, throw it into roasting trays full of root veg, or use it as an aromatic garnish alongside a zesting of lemon. We've even been known to add a little to fruity desserts.

In most cases, you’ll want to strip the leaves from the stalks before using. And if you don’t get around to using all your thyme when fresh, it can be dried and kept, too.

Grown by Turf Croft Organic Herbs, Ringwood, Hampshire

Simon Weir has been farming at Turf Croft Farm in the New Forest for over 30 years. Specialising in organic herbs, he grows a wide variety in polytunnels throughout the warmer months, supplying us with almost every herb imaginable – from basil and oregano to chervil and bay. During the winter months, we also rely on his expertise to help source the finest organic herbs from a handful of trusted growers in Spain and Italy. Planting, picking and packing is all done by hand with a firm emphasis on sustainability; solar panels provide electricity; a reservoir and water butts supply irrigation, and a half-dozen beehives ensure efficient pollination of the plants, making the operation almost entirely self-sufficient.
