Farm shop, onions and insulation

​We opened the farm shop this week!  Hooray.  For those of you who visited our farm shop last year, we have upgraded to a bigger and better one in the corner of our new shed.  Please come along and check it out. We only have a few things for sale so far but we're keen to get things going. so you may find the shelves look a bit bare. They will fill up soon!

We have been planting out lots and lots of small plants, with a little help from our volunteers (Carol in this picture).  We are nearly at the end of the planting out season with just the pumpkins and squashes, some brassicas, fennel and a few other things to go. That spells the end of a pretty intense part of the year and the beginning of the next - starting our veg boxes!  We are very excited and apparently so are you. We are full for June and July, and fast filling up for boxes starting in August. Get your name on the list now if you want one www.taybankgrowerscoop.com/veg-box-scheme

We also do quite a lot of work which is not in the field such as irrigation, fencing and building a pumpkin store. Here Johnny is insulating the store which will keep the pumpkins warm next autumn, and dry with the help of a big extractor fan.
