Vegetables
To get the best results you must talk to your vegetables.

So here we are 700 feet above sea level on the side of a Welsh mountain. How on earth can we grow anything up here in a land of sheep? Well here is some of our home grown produce from past years so yes it is totally possible. We aim to provide an antidote to modern monoculture farming produced to the order of massive supermarket chains. We intend to grow every possible type of edible crop in a biodiverse environment where predators are encouraged to keep pests in check instead of pesticides. What we produce we will sell freshly picked (not in nitrogen filled plastic bags) direct to our local community. Picked fresh on Wednesday and sold in the market Thursday morning. What a novel idea. Well actually no. This is how it used to be done when we were kids. For us this is a return to normality. As for unsold vegetables? – ah yes fed to the chickens and converted into fresh eggs same day!
