Ever wondered what life is like on our organic farm? It’s a daily mix of hard work, planning, and passion, all driven by our goal to deliver the freshest produce straight to your door. Here’s a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a typical day on our no-dig farm, where nature and nurturing work hand in hand.

Morning: Planting and Polytunnels

The day begins bright and early with a walk around the farm to check on the no-dig beds. This is when we assess what needs extra care, from watering to weeding. The polytunnel is a hive of activity in the morning, brimming with seedlings ready to grow into the delicious vegetables that will make their way into your veg box.

Seed sowing is a top priority in the morning. Whether it’s radishes, spinach, or broad beans, every seed we plant represents the promise of fresh, flavourful produce.

Midday: Harvest Time

As the sun rises higher, it’s time for one of the most rewarding parts of farming: harvesting. This is when we get up close and personal with our crops, selecting the freshest and ripest produce by hand. From crisp lettuces to vibrant carrots, every item is carefully chosen to ensure quality.

There’s a rhythm to harvesting that’s both calming and satisfying. The sound of leaves rustling and the sight of full crates remind us why we love what we do.

Afternoon: Planning and Partnering

Behind every veg box delivery is careful planning. Afternoons often involve crop rotation scheduling and collaborating with local growers to ensure we have a diverse selection of seasonal produce. These partnerships allow us to bring you the very best fruits and vegetables while supporting other organic farmers in the community.

This is also the time when we prep for the next steps in farming, whether it’s building new no-dig beds, maintaining tools, or preparing compost. Every task contributes to the bigger picture of sustainable, efficient farming.

Evening: Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead

As the day winds down, we focus on what’s coming next. Whether it’s planning tomorrow’s harvest, tending to seedlings, or brainstorming new ways to improve our veg box service, there’s always something to keep us busy.

Evenings are also for reflection. As we look at the day’s accomplishments, there’s a sense of pride in knowing that every task—big or small—has brought us closer to delivering the best for our customers.

Why It Matters

Farming isn’t just a job; it’s a way of life. Every day on the farm is about more than just growing vegetables—it’s about fostering a connection between the land and the people who enjoy its bounty. When you receive your veg box, you’re not just getting food; you’re supporting sustainable practices, local farmers, and a way of life that values quality and care.
