Antonin

Antonin, from Lyon in France, left the farm on Friday 20th to head for Madrid. Antonin volunteered with us for 6 weeks, and worked very hard, even picking salad for 3 hours on Friday morning before catching his train. We hope you had a good journey, and wish you all the best of luck in Spain and beyond.

David and Allie

Allie (from Texas) and David (from Cape Town) left the farm on Friday 13th May, after two weeks volunteering with us as wwoofers. Many thanks to them for their hard work whilst with us, and especially the 5 hours on the planter dropping onion sets down tubes in the rain...

Planting onions

We started planting our onions on Sunday 8th May, and finished on the Tuesday morning. This year we have planted 40kg of sets of Sturon onions, and 40kg sets of Red Baron onions, so slightly more than last year. This year though we plan to keep the rabbits and weeds away from them so as to get a better harvest!
