After we had put the smother in place to clear the ground we turned our attention to the growing. To be environmentally friendly here is complicated. There are compromises to be made between our ethical ideals and the tight budget.
We try to use council-recycled waste schemes and local horse manure to save money whilst trying to reuse waste products. Here we have to think carefully about what we are bringing onto our site, there have been cases of nasty chemicals hanging around in municipal waste for years and infecting land that it’s used on. There have also been issues highlighted recently surrounding what is fed to horses and therefore passes through them. Nice thought, I know. It’s always a balancing act.
Our 30m commercial tunnel has a huge roof surface area, as such, the rain runoff is substantial and we have recently managed to add a guttering and water collection system to catch and store the precious rainfall. This is a wonderful new addition to the site and I’m sure it will soon be worth its weight in gold. It’s easy to forget the droughts of last summer when you’re in the middle of a spring downpour! See our guttering blog guide for more details.
Anyone! Just ask for what you need and i’ll see if I can help!
They are all different. It depends on what you want, how many and when? If they are not displayed in the shop then please ask and I’ll always help if I can.
Yes, if you let me know that you wish to purchase for trade then I can let you have our trade application form.
We don’t use anything nasty, no herbicides, pesticides or other chemicals but we are not accredited as ‘organic’
No. Unfortunately, as a working farm, I don’t open to the public. I do sometimes invite customers to visit to pick their own or to hold conversations about weddings or events.
