First polytunnel up and running at Treraven Farm

A  gargantuan effort’s gone into completing the first polytunnel at our relocation site at Treraven Farm, Wadebridge. Lead grower Mark Norman headed a large team of volunteers who got stuck in digging trenches, constructing the frame and securing the cover.

Grateful thanks to growers Mark N, Bridget and Ann plus volunteers Andy, Becky, Bob, Charlotte, Danny, Darren, Finn, Frank, Janet, Kiefer, Mark M, Mary, Nicky, Spencer, Stepper, Stewart and Trina for a brilliant team effort.

The tunnel’s now been planted up with tomatoes and aubergines, using the lasagna method of cultivation.

St Mabyn School find out about veg at Camel CSA

We’ve had a fun visit from Class 1 at St Mabyn School. The children named the vegetables and soft fruit in the field and spotted lots of minibugs. They also searched for worms, slugs and snails (plenty of those!) They all tasted peas from the polytunnel and planted a red onion to carry on growing at home.
