Bruno, Louis, and Clement

Three of our residential WWOOF volunteers have completed their stays with us recently, and so we would like to thank Bruno, Louis, and Clement, for their hard work and friendship whilst with us, and we would like to wish them all the best.

Veg boxes

 

After a very difficult May and June we moved into a damp and productive July with lots of lovely fresh produce available on the farm for veg boxes, farm shop, farmer's markets, and local cafes and restaurants.
We are particularly proud of our veg boxes at the moment, with all the veg in them being grown here on the farm, and harvested as fresh as possible for our Friday deliveries.
Our community veg boxes tomorrow should inlcude - 

  • £8.50 boxes - new potatoes, tomatoes, French beans, one fresh green chilli, shallots, and perpetual spinach.
  • £13.50 boxes - all the above, plus basil, courgettes, rhubarb, and an extra chilli.

Recent boxes have also included spring onions, brown onions, rainbow chard, black Tuscan kale, blackcurrants, cucumbers, and garlic.
