Our ethos of using agroecological farming practices provides our community with naturally grown produce that has a multitude of health benefits, through improving soil health. It all starts with the soil, believe it or not. Our three key principles are to provide local, seasonal & naturally grown produce using organic principles that align with natural processes rather than working against them.

We grow a diverse selection of approximately 30 crops that are suited to our climate, including leafy greens like spinach, rainbow chard and kale, root crops like carrots, beetroot, and parsnips. One of our specialities is an irresistible salad mix which changes weekly, depending on what’s in season. We increase soil fertility by adding organic matter onto our beds and incorporating green manure crops in our rotation. We have also planted a new hedgerow along the perimeter of the site. This acts as a ‘wildlife corridor’ for birds, invertebrates, and small mammals, thus increasing the biodiversity on-site and adding resilience against climate change. We also reduce the amount of virgin plastic used on site, trying to eliminate it entirely through our packing or using second hand or biodegradable options for situations where it cannot be avoided.
