Vegetables

The farm grows a range of vegetables, many of which are delivered to customers in boxes (this is called a 'box scheme') or are bought by customers from the farm shop.

A pumpkin party is held every autumn to celebrate Halloween. Local children grow pumpkins during the summer and then take them to the farm in October for a grand pumpkin party.

Here they can carve lanterns and eat pumpkin soup and pumpkin pie.

» DID YOU KNOW?

Non-organic vegetables can be sprayed up to 30 times with chemicals.

Organic vegetables are grown without the routine use of chemical pesticides or fertilisers. This reduces the risk of these chemicals being in your food.
