Have you ever wanted to learn more about growing healthy, nutritious vegetables? Spring is only just round the corner and you’re welcome to join our volunteer team at Camel CSA.

This week we’ve been busy weeding and preparing no-dig veg beds, stripping out spent crops in the polytunnels and harvesting the last of the leeks on our nature-friendly site at Treraven Farm, Wadebridge.

Join us and you’ll learn from Melanie Broomhead, our skilled community grower. She’ll help you find out more about soil care, natural mulches and fertilisers, seed sowing and planting, compost making, crop maintenance, and harvesting techniques, from our skilled community grower.

It’s not all hard work. You’ll be rewarded with fresh clean air, an abundance of nature, good company, regular breaks, and delectable treats like homemade vegetable soup and cake!

If you’re interested in volunteering on our friendly team, please get in touch. If you know anyone else who might be interested, please share these details with them.
