Five heatwaves in and this team is still showing up, still dedicated to bringing the best possible local, organic produce to Sheffield and to transform local landscapes for nature recovery 🍅💐🌳
This year has been tough on the land but also our team. We've had heatstroke and exhaustion. We've been working very early mornings almost the whole summer to avoid the heat and bring produce to you in the best possible condition.
Drivers have battled boiling cabs and sought the shadiest spots to leave deliveries for customers. While at HQ we've packed with ice packs on our necks and fuelled by ice-lollies. 🍦
Flowers have been picked at 7am or 8pm and kept cool in basements until the last moment before weddings.
We're tired and needing rest but the next month is actually one of the most important of the year. Our farm is meant to sell the most amount of produce of the whole year over the next few weeks. We've got weddings, PYO flowers and markets in the calendar.
So if there was ever a time to buy local veg, try your first fruit or veg box, or order local flowers, now is the time. With lots of customers on holiday it's definitely tricky making sure everything gets sold. But we massively appreciate any support. Donating your box rather cancelling also really helps and we've had lots of that this summer which is amazing 😍
Fingers crossed for no more heatwaves 🤞
