Sadly, we had to cancel last Friday’s weekly veg boxes because of the sudden heavy snow fall in Cornwall.
Now the snow’s all gone, growers Bridget and Mark can carry on building the rabbit-proof fence around our new growing site at Treraven Farm above Wadebridge.
We’ve also begun marking out our first two vegetable growing beds on our field at Treraven, which is owned by the Gaia Trust.
Over the next 18 months we’re gradually relocating our polytunnels, growing beds, equipment store, solar panels and packing shed to the new site at Treraven from our current base at St Kew Highway.
