Members of the Lizard Onions group, who hope to set up a Community Supported Agriculture scheme on the Lizard Peninsula (find their facebook page for more information) visited Bosavern Community Farm on Tuesday 28th February on a fact-finding mission. Luckily for us they wanted to get their hands dirty too, a quid pro quo of digging for information. So they joined us on a regular volunteer session, being day 4 of planting new potatoes on the market garden field. We now have 13 of the 20 planned beds prepared and sown with seed potatoes - this year we are growing Maris Peer and Pink Fir Apple.
