Converting Imogen to winter crops

"Dying Breed"

On Friday 17th November at 7pm, the film "Dying Breed" by Mark Catmull will be screened at Sancreed Village Hall.

"A year in the making, shot on three small cattle farms in west Cornwall, Dying Breed is filmmaker Mick Catmull’s love letter to a disappearing way of life. The film paints a no holds barred, poignant, at times tragic portrait of three aging farmers seeing out their days with the knowledge that after their passing, their land will likely be sold off to big growers land speculators or city bankers fancying a bit of hobby farming. Dying Breed avoids the use of commentary. We hear only the voices of farmers, their families, and members of the Cornish farming community."

Tickets are £6 and can be booked via  www.sancreedvillagehall.org/events/carn-to-cove-film-night-dying-breed and www.carntocove.co.uk/event/dying-breed/

Veg boxes 3rd November

Last Friday our veg boxes contained:-

Small box (£6, or £7 delivered to your door) - Valor potatoes, a portion of "winter luxury" pumpkin, red Russian kale, leeks, purple-top turnips, and peppers.

Standard box (£10, or £11 delivered to your door) - all of the above plus "gem" squash, mixed salad leaves, oriental greens, and a sprig of Vietnamese coriander.

All of the veg was grown on the community farm and picked fresh for the boxes. We are a not-for-profit community organisation relying on local and international volunteers. To join our veg box scheme, or to get involved on the farm, please contact us on 01736 788454.

Jon and Clare, from England, spent six weeks living and volunteering as WWOOFers on the community farm until yesterday, and we'd like to thank them for all their hard work and smiling dedication during their time with us.
