Free Lettuces!!!

Exciting news from the farm, our first crop: delicious, crisp, organic, carefully nutured lettuces are now ready for munching!!! Do join us on Saturday (10-2) and help yourself – anyone who’s helped out is entitled to a free lettuce! We’ll also be selling them at the farm, via the Veg Van and other local outlets (let us know if you know of anyone who might be interested).

As well as lettuce crunching on Saturday we will be planting beetroot, sowing lettuce and chinese red mustard and mizuna (oriental salad), planting out tomatoes and chillis, weeding, watering, harvesting! Along with the traditional picnicking and tea drinking of course!

We are also planning a seed / seedling swap – do bring up any spares and swap ‘em (or donate them to the farm!)

Be Our Friend?

Now we’ve been going a few months we want to get more organised and would love to know when you’re able to join us. We’ve therefore set up a facebook page and will be adding the events to this. Do become our friend (click here) and sign up for events – that way we can share lifts and know how many veggie burgers to cook etc!

Other News

We had a great day last Saturday planting cabbages, sweetcorn, squashes, tomatoes, mulching beans, weeding and watering. We also have a new oak sapling hedge!

On Tuesday we were joined by a lovely team from Orchard Hill College for adults with learning difficulties, which was fantastic! They are making a promotional leaflet and video to encourage more students to the farm and will hopefully be joining us every Tuesday!

The Community Service Team and Youth Offender Team are also doing a great job every Sunday helping with planting, watering, weeding and carpentry.
