Last week, three of the Bosavern Community Farm team attended a two-day market gardening course at Soul Farm CSA in Flushing, hosted by Laurence and the Soul Farm crew, with special guest Jean-Martin Fortier.

Over the two days we met many other people who are working on similar projects to ours, we learnt lots of good things from each other and from master market gardener Jean-Martin Fortier, and spent time in the incredibly productive and well-organised market garden at Soul Farm. Now we have to try and find the time and equipment to put our new knowledge into practice...
With many thanks to Jean-Martin, Laurence, and the Soul Farm team for putting on such a good event.
