Growing Areas
Our shop is open Monday – Friday, 10am – 2pm, please feel free to come and see what we have in stock. As many of our products are seasonal, so please contact us for availability.
All our fruit and vegetables are organically grown and we are certified by the Soil Association.
Main field
Our main field is used for hardy crops that can grow outdoors, while polytunnels give seeds and young plants a strong start. We grow a variety of seasonal crops and rotate planting areas to improve yields and reduce disease. The field is fertilised with manure, and companion planting helps deter pests. We avoid chemicals so our fruit and vegetables grow as naturally as possible.
Polytunnels (fruit and veg)
We have three polytunnels, two of which are used to grow crops directly in the ground, including chilli peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers. Because the UK weather can be unpredictable, the tunnels provide warmer, more controlled conditions for delicate crops. They also protect plants from harsh sunlight, frost, insects and other pests.
All our fruit and vegetables begin in organic compost, are nourished with manure and liquid manure feed, and are grown in an environment that is as organic and chemical-free as possible. We take great pride in caring for our crops and providing high-quality produce for you and your family
Polytunnels (Plants and Bulbs)
We raise delicate seedlings and young plants in a dedicated polytunnel, protecting them from the elements and keeping them in the best condition for sale. Caring for so many plants takes considerable time and water, so we conserve as much as possible.
Once established, crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers and chillies are moved to our growing polytunnels, where a drip irrigation system helps conserve water.
In 2026, Storm Dave tore the cover from one of our largest polytunnels. Fortunately, there were no frosts, and our young tomato plants survived.
Cold Frames
We have cold frames used to harden off our plants before sale, these cold frames have a watering system, which is especially handy during the summer months.
Fruit trees and bushes
Our netted growing area protects currants and other berries from birds. Summer is the main harvest season, although picking smaller berries can be time-consuming.
Along the lane to the car park, you will see espalier-trained fruit trees laden with fruit in summer.
Container growing
We make the most of every available space by growing root crops in raised beds and barrels. These elevated areas are more accessible for people who find gardening at ground level difficult. Growing carrots higher above the ground can also help protect them from carrot fly.
