We’re extremely grateful to Wadebridge town councillors who have generously agreed to grant us £500 from their voluntary community and social enterprise budget.
We’ll be using the money to help fund the cost of erecting the first polytunnel on our new veg growing site above Wadebridge at Treraven Farm. Weather permitting, we’ll be relocating the tunnel from our St Kew Highway site very soon. Our other polytunnels, growing beds, equipment store, solar panels and packing shed will follow over the next 18 months.

Sign up for a 4-week vegetable box trial from Camel CSA on CSA Day UK this Wednesday 1 March and we’ll give you a free pack of seeds and a LoveYourVeg cloth bag.
We’re proud to be one of the first CSAs in the UK; we set up at St Kew, near Wadebridge, back in 2008. We’re now part of a rapidly-growing national CSA network with more than 60 members.
A small weekly veg box (feeds 1-2) costs £28 for four weeks; a standard weekly veg box (feeds 2-4) costs £42. Delivery every Friday to home or work is £2, or just £1 to a collection point.
So why not give us a try and help us grow.

Take a tour of the growing beds and polytunnels and see what’s growing for our veg boxes. Admire our bumper crop of squashes.
There’ll be light refreshments, including soup. Try a slice of our homemade apple cake and some vegetable cake! Or bring your own lunch to enjoy in our picnic area.

We’ve switched to an electric van for our weekly vegetable box deliveries. It means we’re cutting the cost of food miles as well as CO2 emissions.
Camel CSA veg grower Mark Norman said: “It’s so clean. It doesn’t use any juice so it’s not chucking out exhaust emissions.
“It’s really convenient for deliveries when you’re stopping and starting all the time. You just press the button and go.”
