Our good friends from National Grid came to help us out at the farm again last week! They made us a new bench for the sea-side garden and helped us carry on with the log splitting.

The team of 15 worked relentlessly through the day and considering it was the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching 30 degrees we would like to give them an extra special thank you!

This is the time of year where planing starts already for next years crops. The veg team have been busy collecting coriander seeds this week so that we have plenty to us for new plants next year. This ensures we have a good succession of plants as well as them being free!
