Volunteers Nick and Stan are busy building us a new insulated cool store at the back of the packing shed on our site at Treraven Farm. We really appreciate their input as they’re both highly skilled and super efficient.

The store will be used mainly for winter storage of vegetables like squash, pumpkins, onions, beetroot and various root crops that are harvested earlier in the growing season. It will protect them from extreme temperatures and attacks from rodents until they are needed in the veg boxes. It’ll also be useful for storing apples once our newly-planted orchard becomes productive.

The timber and insulating materials were financed from Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network – WREN‘s community benefit fund with money donated by Wadebridge energy firm CleanEarth.

Sharing out the vegetables is an important part of our weekly routine at Camel CSA. In their veg box every Friday each member household gets an equal share of what’s available and ready on our field at Treraven Farm.

Quantity and quality vary from week to week depending on nature, the weather and the changing of the seasons. It means CSA members share in the risks and rewards throughout the year and have a better understanding of how challenging and unpredictable the growing experience can be.
