Meuse box 1 (11 Nov 2026) 🌱

It's been a very busy spring on the farm trying to get everything ready for a season of healthy, delicious, organic veg! Since August we've been clearing cover crop, preparing beds, making compost, seeding in the field, propagating in the greenhouse, transplanting out plant babies, squishing cutworm and cabbage white butterfly caterpillars and more. We've made it to the point in late spring where everything is filling up quickly and the plethora of veg is in site. In the midst of it all, I managed to escape to the Eastern Cape for a weekend with some wonderful soil nerds to get re inspired about building healthy and diverse soils.

All that to get us here to early November and our first veg box of the season! We're celebrating fresh spring greens in the form of Elegance baby greens mix, Space spinach. And Green River komatsuna. There are also super sweet and crunchy Mokum carrots and Avalanche beets, a bit of herbiness from bronze fennel and, very exciting, the first of our Magda squash. For smaller households, we have a half box available too.

Order by Sunday 8 Nov for collection at the farm or delivery (Hout Bay, Atlantic Seaboard, C*D, Southern Suburbs) Weds 11 Nov after 2pm. If ordering for collection, please make sure to leave your cell number so we can remind you on the day. Thanks!

October at Meuse Farm:
We transitioned into the Spring season (which feels a bit earlier this year), and the farm is bustling from every side! We started the month with a Spring Equinox Long Table in our fields, followed by multiple dinners at The Longhouse at Meuse Farm, and our first Open Day of the season! Our farmers have been hard at work transplanting, watering, and weeding all of our spring veg, and we’re already seeing so much growth.

This Friday at Meuse Farm’s Longhouse: W**e Edition, you can expect to walk through the farm beds, up to the deck overlooking Hout Bay valley, and enjoy a delicious Thai- inspired meal with thoughtfully selected w**e pairings.

Our menu for Friday is taking us to Thailand and is built from what’s growing on the farm this Spring. Expect dishes featuring the first cabbage of the season with thai chili crisp and blood orange, Chioggia and Avalanche beetroot som tam, and fire roasted, slow-braised LA Farms short rib, pressed and served with sticky rice. Dessert is a sweet potato donut with Sichuan pepper and Thai basil ice cream. There are also a few more lovely dishes you’ll just have to come discover in-person.

We’ve also opened some of our favourite bottles to pair with the dishes. Newton Johnson Albariño, Remhoogte’s Free to Be, and Stark-Condé Syrah were chosen carefully by caidi_kennedy_chef and Vamana Ramarama Roux to pair alongside these specific plates.

Today on the farm: a sun halo gracing us with its presence, a tiny Farmer Ben (far right) prepping the beds for eggplants to be transplanted on Monday, and a new mulch pathway up to the Longhouse that we’re all way too excited about!

Supposedly the old wive’s tale is that “A ring around the sun or moon means rain or snow is coming soon”, so let’s see if that holds true for us on the farm. (Hopefully no snow though 😅)

20/10/2026

Join us next Sunday for these views and a special once-off collab between Chef Nina of Salsify at The Roundhouse and Chef Caidi of Meuse Farm.

You’ll get to enjoy a farm aperitivo and a welcome bite on arrival. Then they’ll be serving 48-hour wood-fired pizza topped with delicious farm ingredients alongside a harvest table of accompanying seasonal dishes followed by a sweet sorghum molasses tiramisu for dessert.
