Managing our soil
Andrew Ross writes about our soil tests and how the results and our local weather inform the way that we will manage the plots.
Food for free
We keep our Farm prices low - but there's loads out there that costs nothing. Elderberries, rosehips, and blackberries are abundant right now and can be turned into delicious food and health-boosting syrups.

Plot 19 have a glut of cucumbers so it's a good time to make them into recipes and savour them for months to come.

Herbilicious!
Our herb garden is flourishing. As well as favourites like rosemary, thyme, and chives, we grow some less well-known herbs. These are hard to find in shops so it's well worth picking some to try next time you're at the farm.
