This summer has been briliantly busy growing, harvesting and  trying to get it to as many mouths as possible! It wouldn't of been possible without all the help we have had from volunteers who stay locally and our residential Woofers (Working On Organic Farmers) who have helped out so much. Particular thanks to Oriol who made us this film to show our place off-  vimeo.com/179109746

eggs from our happy organically fed hens are also available.

If you would like a share of this harvest please get in touch - we are looking to have 2 collection days on a thursday 4 - 6.30pm or sunday 2  - 6pm. We are asking for between £8 - £15 a box depending on size. You can collect the box from us on the field.

If you would like a veg box but are unable to collect from us please let us know and we will do our best to deliver to your door at an arranged time that suits both parties.

If any of you are keen to come and get involved and would like to spend some time on the farm we are having a volunteer day on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month (10 - 4) where we will provide lunch and refreshments. That means its a volunteer day this coming Sunday - we have tons to plant, sow, mulch etc - 
If you can't make sundays and would like to lend a hand any other day, please get in touch and we will be happy to work to your availability

We are experimenting with all kinds of growing techniques that improve the soil and are not organic but regenerative- building fertility and creating more habitats for wildlife. Here are some of the methods we are experimenting with, more info to follow as we grow:
Hugelkultur- making beds with lots of organic matter buried underneath like rotting logs, turf and organic waste. We have built these in the flower garden and the soil is already noticeably more rich, water retentive and hopefully fertile.
No dig beds- we have brought in an awful lot of cow manure and council compost to build up fertile beds in the polytunnel. So far we have noticed a huge amount of wire worm eating the roots of our crops.. but nevertheless we have created very fertile beds for the crops to grow in..
Ramial Wood Chip Mulch- we spent a good while in the woods in the depths of winter chipping deciduous small diameter wood. This is a beneficial mulch for perennial crops as it creates a forest floor environment encouraging mycorrhizal activity helping the plants take up nutrient from the soil and conserving water. We have a left a strip of soft fruit without the special woodchip to see if it makes a difference.. watch this space..
