David

We have had another David to wwoof with is, this time from Segovia in Spain. David volunteered with us for 2 weeks before heading off to his next wwoof adventure on the Lizard Peninsula. Muchas gracias a David para ayudanos!

Veg boxes 9th February

Last Friday's £6 veg box - mixed salad leaves, oriental greens, black winter radish, swede, pumpkin, and potatoes.

The £10 box contained potatoes, pumpkin, parsley, red cabbage, Chinese leaves, little gem lettuces, purple sprouting broccoli, French breakfast radish, and jerusalem artichokes.

Polytunnel name plaques

It's taken us a long time to get round to it (mainly because of trying to figure out how to go about it) but we've eventually fixed some name plaques onto three of our polytunnels. They were made for us by Sonja, out of clay, and add a lovely personal rustic touch to the tunnels.

The propagation station, where we produce all the plants for the farm.

Valentine (named after the Valentine's Day storms).

The Sausage, the longest and thinnest of our 6 tunnels.

Some day we hope to be able to extend this art-project to the other three tunnels - the Mothership, Nigel, and Imogen.

Many thanks to Sonja for creating and gifting these lovely pieces (and also for facilitating the art and poetry workshops on the farm, and running Pendeen Farmer's Market twice a month).

Vincent, also from France, will be leaving us tomorrow morning to head back home to continue his engineering studies, having arrived at the community farm on New Years' Day. Many many thanks to Vincent for his month with us, and good luck with your studies.

Coraline
