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
