If you've visited the Saturday stall the past 6 weeks, you would already be aware that I am moving to a box subscription model and closing the stall, and online orders. This week (Sat 27th June) will be the last stall at the farm.

I am sad to be closing the stall as it's always lovely to see everybody and the joy and passion they have for local organic produce. But as the farm has grown, demand has increased and the number of sales channels has diversified. It has become impossible to predict how much I need to grow, whether I will sell it all, and how the produce needs to be distributed across the different markets.

Some weeks I will hold off selling certain vegetables to my chefs, thinking I will need them for boxes and the stall, only to have low attendance and be left with unsold stock.

A subscription model will allow me to grow just what I need, free up space on the farm to grow vegetables that have previously been unviable due to time cost and space, and reduce uncertainty on how much I can expect to earn each week.

Most of my regular supporters have already switched over to the new model. But for anyone I haven't seen in awhile, thankyou so much for your support over the past 5 years. I wouldn't be here without you.

A separate post about the subscription boxes will come soon. Please drop me a line if you have any queries. Much love, Russ.

Glisgening dew cabbages. After months of nurturing theyre finally heading up nicely. This is another first for my little farm. They take over 4 months to grow, require constant supervision, feeding and aren't the most profitable of vegetables. But fark they're gorgeous 🤷‍♂️❤

In case you weren't sure. Yes, farmers do squeal like little school girls when crops finally work.

After 3 years of attempts, the purple broccoli have decided to grow for me. It all comes down to temperature differences, getting the seedlings in the ground when its just cool enough and letting them experience the onset of colder winter days. Its tricky in my little corner of the valley, as I'm protected by two mountains and never get a frost.

Oh... I seeeeeee 😂 Some of the things I grow are still a bit trial and error. Following directions on a web course or seed packet sometimes just don't add up in our weird little climate.

I tried for 3 years to grow tomatoes through Summer. Every... single... time... they would start great and I would get a single harvest before they died to wilt, mould or bug attacks. This year was a final attempt growing through Autumn. And it finally worked 😭

Do you know of a restaurant, hot sauce maker or chilli fiend that can help me find a home for these hot babes? I have excess Jalepeno, Habernero and Serrano chilli pumping into Autumn. Please share this post if you think someone may be keen 😘
