Almost one year later, when the red buds of the new plants are beginning to show at the end of winter, we plant them into our expanding rhubarb patch (we have just done this today, adding more than 70 new plants to the patch). This is a much cheaper method than buying crowns (or small slices of crowns) from seed companies, or buying the plants themselves, but there is a delay of over two years before we get a crop. We have been doing this for several years now, so there are plenty of plants in production, plus the new batch annually, and we also replace any dead plants whilst we are at it. Rhubarb is such a wonderful hungry-gap-filler!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDQwOePx1ZOgzeCOhDFtPc96ndk58zEsiCLFZAg9U-VbEMl8ROTxB6fwvsWBE2y4oiGsBbFJpxcP1EKmBnL7TRUZxrYPvL9zdPq1sJt7Ir5ALrYbX_NUoxL0SbiBF9mULsggQs2Mlql0_5pzT5s3f4P_itSV6ewspxaRDLEjFvMUt4RMypKunjMTrLyrE/s1560/rhubarb%20planting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="878" data-original-width="1560" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpDQwOePx1ZOgzeCOhDFtPc96ndk58zEsiCLFZAg9U-VbEMl8ROTxB6fwvsWBE2y4oiGsBbFJpxcP1EKmBnL7TRUZxrYPvL9zdPq1sJt7Ir5ALrYbX_NUoxL0SbiBF9mULsggQs2Mlql0_5pzT5s3f4P_itSV6ewspxaRDLEjFvMUt4RMypKunjMTrLyrE/s320/rhubarb%20planting.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This was an onion patch last year. We covered it in black plastic for the winter, then removed the plastic a few weeks ago, dug out any surviving weeds and perennial roots, then planted the small rhubarbs on a one-metre grid, after a little broadforking / loosening where the plants were about to go. Each plant is marked with a cane so that we don't lose them.<br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04044589638854111673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653004850756879295.post-1279684804997272342024-01-22T09:00:00.000-08:002024-01-22T09:00:56.292-08:00More snow<p>We had a sprinkling of snow on Thursday last week, first thing in the morning, which made harvesting for veg boxes even more difficult!

This was our first week of watercress season, it looks wonderful, and we're excited!<br /><p></p><p>Standard box (£13.50) - beetroot, parsley, fennel, perpetual spinach, Ambo potatoes, 3 dried chillies, salad leaves, watercress, kale, UK organic carrots, and a local organic cauliflower.</p><p>Small box (£8.50) - Ambo potatoes, 3 dried chillies, salad leaves, watercress, kale, and UK organic carrots.</p><p>Please email us on vegbox.bcf@bcents.org to join our not-for-profit community veg box scheme.<br /></p>hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04044589638854111673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653004850756879295.post-47161223290272075672023-12-27T09:28:00.000-08:002023-12-27T09:28:42.830-08:00Farm factoids<p>For our AGM on Thursday 20th November we wrote a set of facts about the community farm, one for each attendee to read out at the end of the meeting, and here they are:-</p><p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Your farm was established in 2010 making us the
second-longest-running CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project in
Cornwall (Camel CSA was established in 2008).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your farm has produced veg boxes without a break every week
since our first box in June 2011.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your farm ran courses for local unemployed adults from 2020
to 2022, for which we won St. Just Council’s Community Group of the Year trophy
in 2021, and the Plunkett Foundation’s “Rural Community Business Award” for
Employment and Training in 2023.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your farm has achieved “Level 5 – Outstanding” in the RHS
South West In Bloom “It’s Your Neighbourhood” section for the past nine years,
and in 2023 was adjudged to be the second best community growing project in the
South West of England.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wildlife seen on the farm includes heron, barn owl, kestrel,
red kite, buzzard, fox, weasel, pole cat, grey squirrel, hedgehog, roe deer, adder,
Cornish chough, and slow worm (and two goldfish living in an old cattle trough).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the 2023 season your farm grew over 700kg of tomatoes,
with a value of over £4000.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your farm has engaged with several thousand volunteers since
it began in 2010, some of whom have gone on to work in the organic farming
sector, including setting up their own market gardens, and even starting
vegetable gardens in Rohingya refugee camps on the Myanmar border.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In a recent price check, our organic cauliflowers (bought
locally with zero packaging) were selling at exactly the same price as Tesco
and Sainsbury’s.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the first Covid lockdown our veg box numbers hit a record
156 per week. Since then they have gradually reduced to just under half that
amount.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the 2022 growing season your farm produced over £58,000
of vegetables.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2022 in response to the cost of living crisis we set up
our Community Veg Box Fund, which has so far raised £2500 from private donors,
allowing us to deliver veg boxes to local people who would otherwise struggle
to access fresh local healthy food.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your farm has hosted WWOOF volunteers from all over the
world, including Brazil, Argentina, Tajikistan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam,
Senegal, Israel, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, Russia, Finland, New Zealand and
Australia.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our polytunnels all have names – The Mothership, The
Propagation Station, The Sausage, Valentine, Nigel, Imogen, and Castle Dracula.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our first “farm shop” was Hugh’s Grandad’s old bathroom
cabinet balanced on the concrete plinth at the roadside, selling salad bags and
eggs, with a margarine tub for payments (in 2010).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We used to fill a wheelbarrow full of boxes of eggs and push
it into St. Just to sell eggs round the doors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Probably the best archaeological find to date is a carved
stone spindle whorl used for hand-spinning wool several thousand years ago,
found when preparing potato beds on the market garden in 2011, similar to the
ones on display in Penlee Museum. We have also found knapped flints, a musket
ball, a Salvation Army cap badge, and half a Spanish silver coin, as well as
hundreds of clay pipe stems.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We once took a soil sample up to Duchy College to be
assessed, and they told us we couldn’t grow vegetables here!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your farm used to be a cattle farm, and for fifty years the
farmer was Penrose Harvey – he died in 2021, and his niece now has an allotment
on the farm.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Bosavern” means the settlement of Afern, who is believed to
have been a Danish viking.</p>

This was awarded for the work experience and training programme for local unemplyed adults that we ran from 2020 to 2022. One of our volunteers, Lil, was also announced as a joint winner of the "Young Person Award" for her volunteering here on the farm. These latest awards are testament to the incredible dedication of our volunteers and staff here at the farm as we strive hard to build community, feed local people, encourage wildlife, and be financially viable.<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHIzG5hrdeqmqL63COPozR5aoflu9cIpTwBvVgylM0HgIG0391s9YAGiflLOhunr-UAJf5ZxurKE3M0a-aTQ3J9dwtBKkXSsAKK6P_1r1in2ulTsVS1gUHVKOnP4tgjUppSbAae4XoGTKdxIxGihAI2ZksMvoREPgrwbdYRAwxzAteAVw4AVjps3R5DTyY/s1573/cornishman%20article.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="885" data-original-width="1573" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHIzG5hrdeqmqL63COPozR5aoflu9cIpTwBvVgylM0HgIG0391s9YAGiflLOhunr-UAJf5ZxurKE3M0a-aTQ3J9dwtBKkXSsAKK6P_1r1in2ulTsVS1gUHVKOnP4tgjUppSbAae4XoGTKdxIxGihAI2ZksMvoREPgrwbdYRAwxzAteAVw4AVjps3R5DTyY/s320/cornishman%20article.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">How the Cornishman reported the awards in their December 14th edition.<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><a href="https://plunkett.co.uk/rural-community-business-awards-2023/">https://plunkett.co.uk/rural-community-business-awards-2023/</a><br /><p><br /></p>hughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04044589638854111673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653004850756879295.post-27238534045715251232023-12-21T04:36:00.000-08:002023-12-21T04:36:25.287-08:00Community farm social<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvbDLz6ddyfb6q11yCDLoDs3FshO4iXvK4pYlgHi11jq1t0gPEs1ODA0C6wARaWHE3s90ilrFwsjMEA_5FCopj5HoeSzqC3ymCl6I3nIVYvrhg2q4Zz9Q_qL1K3KAJeRQlzOE8hLvyLybOZrECntkrU2IFOQ7Wm813Qnz_2IZlGgF0MJbMKcLnQ16998xC/s1573/christmas%20social.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="885" data-original-width="1573" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvbDLz6ddyfb6q11yCDLoDs3FshO4iXvK4pYlgHi11jq1t0gPEs1ODA0C6wARaWHE3s90ilrFwsjMEA_5FCopj5HoeSzqC3ymCl6I3nIVYvrhg2q4Zz9Q_qL1K3KAJeRQlzOE8hLvyLybOZrECntkrU2IFOQ7Wm813Qnz_2IZlGgF0MJbMKcLnQ16998xC/s320/christmas%20social.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>On Monday morning we held our Christmas coffee morning for the farm's staff, volunteers, and other members of our farm community.
