Last Orders Please

So we are nearing the end of a bountiful year: and as things start to run low (including my energy levels!) I’m stopping Farm Drop after next Friday 1st December, since we won’t have enough produce to supply these lovely people regularly (we will still have our produce available at Hartley, Neston and Mayfield Organic, plus a seasonal festive market in Lamb’s Yard in Bradford on Avon on Saturdays is planned…)

So Londoners, Bathonians & Bristolians, get your skates on a place an order now before we take a well-earning break over winter, when we’ll be planning crops and rotations for next year, ready to start supplying again as soon as the weather allows us. Don’t forget that if you’re ordering for the first time, quoting ‘GROWNGREEN’ will give you £25 off your first £50 shop, hurrah!

BBC Countryfile Winter Diaries

For those who missed it, have a virtual tour of a couple of the polytunnels and leeks patch courtesy of the BBC Countryfile Winter Diaries team last Tuesday morning! They came to film in mid-January on a rather nippy windy day, to see what you can grow in the winter, and also to get some tips on how to build a hot bed. (Series 1, episode 2, first broadcast on Tuesday 14th February.)
