So How Are We Saving Water at IL Fiorello!
The drought is full on and everyone is making concerted efforts to save water. We are very lucky at IL Fiorello because the founding fathers of Solano County developed Lake Berryessa. We have some water, precious but present. We have water available from April through October, but from October to April we have no supply and rely on rain to replenish the systems and support our trees. This is one of the reasons we planted olives because they are drought tolerant. Our newest planting is Chemlali, a North African olive tree that is drought-resistant. We are anticipating planting 100 more Chemlali trees next year.
Consult the Master Gardner’s program; they have a lot of information on how to conserve water and keep plants alive.
So what are we doing at our Farm? Here is the list of measures we have undertaken to be water efficient. We are complying with Solano County water restriction guidelines.
• Science based watering system for the trees, continuous in-ground monitoring system
• Fertigation: water and fertilize at the same time
• Our baby trees are surrounded with olive pits from the last harvest to protect from water stealing weeds and for water conservation.
• We water early in the morning or very late at night to herb and vegetable gardens as all landscape and turf irrigation is prohibited between Noon and 6 p.m.
• No washing down of patio or walkways unless there is a health hazard, such as bird or animal droppings
• Shut off valves installed on each hose
• The fountain in front of the Event Center provides water for the birds but uses recycled water.
• No extra cleaning in the olive mill when we are not milling or bottling
• Solar supported Event Center and Mill
• Water for customers is always offered but served upon request at the tasting room
• Only fully loaded trays in commercial dishwasher, cycle 3 minutes long.
• In the Kitchen all extra clean water goes to plants in our herb gardens
• On site commercial septic system to recycle potable water out to the trees. This includes water from the Visitors Center, the Commercial Kitchen, and the Olive Mill.

Like many other skills, gardening (and growing your own food) is a skill that's been kept alive through intergenerational connections. Through the passing on of knowledge. A "granny skill" worth having. Rebecca Sullivan has built a business dedicated to keeping all manor of granny skills alive and kicking, from growing food to cooking, homemaking and more. Consider her your ultimate grower, foodie and sustainability champion. Her love for food has evolved over the years, leading her to complete a Masters in International Rural Development and Sustainable Agriculture.
Rebecca's husband, Damien is from Adnyamanthanha country and his heritage has inspired their book Warndu Mai (Good Food) which pays homage to indigenous Australian foods and native ingredients - many of which you can grow yourself! Grow It Local team member, Ellie wanted to know more, and get some fab recipes to share with you!
In building something as collaborative as Warndu Mai, where did it all start for you? The plants? The recipes? The people?
Actually it started with Damien and I seeing an absolute need to champion his culture and the food was second. We wanted to protect his language and all of the things passed down generationally to him, so it made sense to combine that with my Granny Skills work and work in food. From a collaboration perspective, well it has to be that way for the industry to grow. We are also natural collaborators anyway.
What do you think will surprise people the most when reading Warndu Mai?
That so many of these ingredients are easier to get than perceived.
What were some of the challenges you found in bringing Warndu Mai to life?
Finding out which ingredients we wanted to use VS what was going to be accessible to everyone and easily.
We know you’re a savvy grower and we want to know what’s going on in your garden…
Well we have 86 acres of Native trees, our most important asset as Regenerative farmers and soil stewards. We have a huge cottage garden with mainly native plants and lots of hardy and native herbs around the house. Every time I go on a walk with our dog Wattle we find new plants, its so amazing. They just self seed everywhere.
Heading into Winter, what would we be most likely to find in your patch and is there anything you’re particularly excited to be harvesting?
Well this year my patch is mainly garlic because I am going to YALE as a world fellow from August - December so will start again when I get home. Until I leave though I have lots of Native herbs, lettuce and bitter greeens, onions, cabbages and cauliflowers coming and hopefully plenty of potatoes.
And what about recipes? What are you cooking most this time of year?
Soups, bone broths and just about anything we can cook on our wood fire plus plenty of Saltbush soda bread.
At Grow It Local, we believe growing your own food is definitely a granny skill worth having! What is your best advice for someone wanting to start growing their own food but who thinks they lack time, space or skills.
I say start small. You can live self sufficiently from day one regardless of having a huge farm or small garden. Start with a herb and lettuce pot and go from there. The sheer joy of growing anything yourself is addictive.
Which indigenous ingredient would you recommend most to those growing food at home? And why?
Native thyme (Incisa) its hardy, keeps growing and is great in both sweet and savoury dishes. Plus it has stunning purple flowers.
Try Rebecca's Chia crusted Barramundi with chickpea mash seasoned with native thyme.


The World Bank on Monday said that recent commodity price shocks, particularly in food and energy, are likely to be felt by people around the world.
This was disclosed in the international financial institution’s Commodity Markets Outlook cited by AMBusiness.
According to World Bank’s Senior Economist, Peter Nagle, Ukraine and Russia are both large exporters of wheat. Together, they account for one-quarter of global wheat exports. With disruptions of exports resulting from the war, the prices of food will see a dramatic increase.
Nagle noted that this would be an issue for countries in the Middle East and North Africa in particular since they rely on Russia and Ukraine for a very large share of their wheat imports
Fertilizers have also seen a rise in price due to the increase in the price of natural gas from which they are made.
Concerns were raised about the likely reduction of agricultural yields due to farmers having to use fewer fertilizers in developing economies.
“For the poorer households, this is particularly bad, because they spend a larger share of their income on food and energy. They are particularly vulnerable to this increase in price”, the economist said.

There was enough sunlight to melt much of the snow leftover from the March 14 storm, but this flowerbed looks to the East and is shaded by the house, so it always takes its time to warm up. One corner of the beds has bulbs that get a little more sunlight.
The rest are coming along nicely and most of the snow has melted. There’s an old-fashioned saying that Spring snow is a poor man’s fertilizer. It’s true that snow at this time of year is quite good for the garden. That’s reason enough to patiently await the blooms that I will shortly enjoy.

The Perennial South beds contains, as its name implies, Perennials. The Perennial South Bed was created in 2006 and 2007. To create the original be, an asphalt layer had to be removed, and amended soil put in its place. The bed is bordered with border blocks to provide a contiguous edge to the bed. The is heavily mulched every year to provide nutrients, weed control and moisture control. Every Bedhead gets to choose the plants that go into their bed each year while they are Bedhead. So many different Perennial plants have been rotated through the bed over the years. Below the slideshow there is a list of the plants that are currently in our Perennial South bed. You can click on the link or image to find more information about each plant. The plants in the bed do not bloom at the same time with some blooming early in the spring and others blooming all the way into late fall, early winter. We hope you can visit the Master Gardens and our Perennial South Bed in person to see the plants in all of their glory (best time is from spring until fall). Starting late summer/early fall all of the plants will be labeled with their common name and their biological name along with a QR code to take you to the information on each plant. But even if you cannot visit our Master Gardens and our Perennial South Bed in person, you can still view each of the plants and find information on each with the links in the table below.

Senate ag committee begins farm bill markup session
The U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry will meet to officially mark-up the 2012 Farm Bill April 26 at 10:30 a.m. EDT, according to the committee’s website. Markup is the process during which the committee amends and modifies the proposed 2012 Farm Bill.
Every five years, Congress passes a bundle of legislation, commonly called the "farm bill" that sets national agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and forestry policy. The last Farm Bill was passed in 2008, and expires in 2012.
For more information about the 2012 Farm Bill, including summaries and legislative text, visit the Farm Bill page. The markup will be broadcast live on this page.
The Committee Print of the 2012 Farm Bill reforms farm policy, consolidates and streamlines programs, and will reduce the deficit by $23 billion. This bill saves taxpayers money while strengthening initiatives that help farmers, ranchers and small business owners create American jobs.

Riccardo Cotarella , one of the best known Italian oenologists, will sign the wines of the Eisacktaler Kellerei Eisack Valley winery, and will cover the role of consultant starting from the current harvest and at the dawn of an important anniversary, that of 60 years that reality cooperative will accomplish in 2021.
The Isarco Valley is one of the most interesting wine-growing regions in Europe for the production of white wines. Here viticulture benefits from a considerable temperature range between day and night, from the proximity to the mountains, from scarce rains and many hours of sunshine throughout the year. In this setting grow grapes such as: Kerner, Sylvaner, Müller Thurgau, Grüner Veltliner, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, which give life to fresh, savory, mineral wines, with high percentages of alcohol.
Cotarella is a consultant for over a hundred companies in Italy and abroad and is also the national president of Assoenologi and professor of viticulture and enology at the University of Tuscia in Viterbo. Armin Gratl, general manager of the winery, commented: "We chose Riccardo Cotarella for his great national and international experience, as well as for his desire to compete with a territory unknown to him until now, convinced that our winemaker Hannes Munter can draw from this advice a great help for a professional growth that goes from the countryside to the cellar".
Eisacktaler Kellere owns a variety of microclimates and vines distributed on rugged slopes and steep slopes, difficult to cultivate. Gratl explains that these are light and poor soils, rubble of glacial origins and fluvial sediments, with low intrinsic yields. "We cultivate 10 white and 4 red grape varieties for a total of 950 thousand bottles produced per year. Many of our members are really small, they have on average just over a hectare, but they devote very high care and attention".
"For this important anniversary we will present some news, such as the wines resulting from this harvest that will be released in 2021 by Cotarella and also the Aristos 2019 selections. For our sixty years we will also launch a completely renewed image, a new logo and new labels ", concludes the general manager.

- Make sure seeds are clean and free from bugs/mold.
- Label and bring seeds in mini Ziplock bags, coin envelopes, old pill bottles, jars, etc. If you can share growing instructions, even better!
- Make sure seeds are not too old or make sure they have been stored in cool and dry conditions.

BELGRADE (Serbia), June 20 (SeeNews) – Serbia hopes to launch exports of pork and dairy products to China by the end of 2019, agriculture minister Branislav Nedimovic said.
Serbia has signed a memorandum of understanding with China on exports of food products, which would open the way for sales of Serbian pork meat and dairy products in the Asian country, Nedimovic said earlier this week, according to a press release by Serbia's agriculture ministry.
The two countries will also sign a phytosanitary protection agreement and the first Chinese inspections in Serbia will be carried out in the coming months, Nedimovic said.
"The signing of these documents is a strategic matter for Serbia in the field of agriculture due to the opening of the Chinese market for pork and dairy products," he added.
Last year, Serbia resumed exports of beef to China after a 30-year break.

Cali's got better sun, better elevation, better seasons, and a huge market driving production. BC's turned out a whole LOT of buds but beasters are not known for quality, they're known for reliability and reasonable pricing. Of course great shit comes out of there but I don't think Canada is turning out the best weed in the world, even in indoor hydroponics w/ dep cycling and the like. That could be regional bias though.
What does weather have to do with anything though?

However, I need to buy my seeds, bulbs and plants before I can fill my beds.
Oh the things you'll see when you catalog shop!
Sunflowers. I'd love to be able to reach the sky like a sunflower.
Kohlrabi.....my crew loves the crisp, crunchy texture of this great veggie. We often argue over who gets the last bite.
Tomatoes.....I grew up eating tomatoes by the handfuls straight out of the garden. To this day, I still can't get enough tomatoes. And the salsa, I love to make salsa. In fact, I haven't bought salsa from a supermarkert in two years.
This year, I think I'm going to venture out to the world of the unknown - heirloom tomatoes. I have such a love for tomatoes that I'm growing restless with the traditional Beefsteak or Big Boy. Why now try a Yellow Zebra or Oaxcan Jewel?
Or maybe a Green Zebra?

The World's Hottest Chillies
The 'superhots' are habanero (Capsicum chinense) chillies that measure over 500,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), and given the right environment, some varieties are capable of reaching a million SHU or more. The heat levels we quote are from tests we've had done on the whole crop, not an individual fruit that gave the highest result.
All superhot chillies must be treated with great care and respect. We have three rules: never dare, never bet and NEVER trick someone into eating a superhot chilli.
We also sell plug plants, see www.seaspringplants.co.uk
Note: Superhot chilies are generally hard to germinate. For information on growing chillies click here

My cukes were planted a bit late and I think they should have started producing fruit earlier than they have but I think they got behind due to the heat wave. The vines have climbed my trellis to nearly 6' high from the ground. I'm just NOW getting some growth on the female buds. Maybe 3 or 4 little cukes that are about 2-3" long. We just had a break in the heatwave in my area (Northern VA) and I'm thinking that this is why they started setting fruit.
The forecast for today is going to be 94 today, 91 tomorrow and 90 on Wednesday. After that, temps are predicted to be in the mid to high 80's. I'm hoping the production that has just started will make it through the next 3 days and will continue later in the week when the temps are a bit lower...
I'll let everyone know what happens.
Incidentally, I'm also fighting off a small invasion of cucumber beetles... On any given day I'll find 5-10 on my leaves and I'm finding one of my vines has started to die due to these pests... I kill them as I see them but I broke down yesterday and sprayed with some organic oil spray to see what would happen.

British Potato 2017:
UK: Branston's Jim Aitken awarded for maintaining strong work relationships
Senior Field Manager at Branston, Jim Aitken, has won the AHDB’s coveted “Above and Beyond” award at British Potato 2017, the UK's biennial potato event.
The award given by AHDB Potatoes, a division of the UK Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board committed to making the potato industry more competitive and sustainable, is presented to an exceptional performer or an individual who has made a significant achievement over the past five years.
Jim has been based at Branston’s Abernethy site since the company took it over in 2004, and even prior to this. His role as senior field manager is within agronomy, but his passion for getting the best out of potatoes means that he strives to be involved in and maintain a strong working relationship between agronomy, procurement, technical and production at the site.
Jim said: “The potato sector is such an important part of UK agriculture, and I feel passionate about the role that I play within Branston to ensure the ever-increasing market needs in this industry are met with quality products. I have worked in this industry for over 30 years, and so to be recognised by AHDB Potatoes with such a prestigious award at BP 2017, an event which really celebrates the potato industry, is a real honour.”
James Truscott, managing director at Branston said: “He is extremely well known and respected in the industry, and is a real champion for our sector. Jim is always looking at ways to drive improvement and change where it is needed, and is always happy to share his extensive knowledge and expertise with others.
In particular, he is committed to passing on his skills and experience to young people in the industry, many of whom have gone on to become successful agronomists in their own right within the potato and vegetable sectors.”

Business Recorder (17/03/2020) - ICE Canadian canola futures rose on Friday. The market rose on traders with short positions taking profits and was also supported by limited hedge pressure as farmers are not currently active sellers to commercial buyers, a trader said. May canola gained $2.60 to settle at $453.60 per tonne.
May-July canola spread traded 3,951 times. US corn and wheat futures were modestly higher on Friday as wider financial markets regained some ground, but soyabean futures fell, hitting life-of-contract lows as crop weather in South America improved.
Euronext May rapeseed futures fell and Malaysian May palm oil futures rose. In a surprise move, the Bank of Canada cut its overnight rate by 50 basis points on Friday as the Canadian government pledged credit support to help businesses stave off a potential recession amid the coronavirus outbreak.

EU Milk Reduction Scheme
Dairy farmers in the UK could be paid up to 12 pence per litre to cut production
The announcement out of Brussels last week is part of a support package for farmers in the light of the current low prices, particularly for milk. The UK will receive a payment of around £25 million to be paid out in support payments.
The UK Government are yet to make a formal announcement, but it is likely that farmers will be given the option to sign up to a voluntary scheme to reduce milk production, with a payment of approx 12 pence per litre for every litre less produced this year compared to last year.
This scheme may will be of significant benefit to many of you, as it may provide an opportunity to send on cull cows earlier than planned, with a view to replacing them at the end of the scheme with younger cows.
We will continue to monitor the scheme and provide an update as soon as more detailed information is available.


Resson Aerospace Lands $14M Deal To Scale-up
Resson, a fast-growing data-driven agriculture technology company, today announced that McCain Foods Limited is now a strategic partner and is part of a US$11 million (about CDN$14 million) Series B investment round in the company.
Other investors in Resson’s Series B round include Build Ventures, Rho Canada Ventures, New Brunswick Innovation Foundation, BDC Capital and East Valley Ventures.
"As one of Resson's first investors, we are excited about what this tremendous investment will do to scale the company here, in New Brunswick," says NBIF CEO Calvin Milbury, "even though our first priority is to get startups off the ground, once they've got revenues, our growth strategy is to help founders find the venture capital and corporate investments they need to go global."
The New Brunswick, Canada-based Resson helps large and small agriculture companies and agricultural service providers boost productivity and profits with near real-time predictive analysis for crop management.
“Having one of the largest names in the global agriculture business back our vision for Resson is a clear indication that the company is on the right track in this multi-trillion dollar industry,” said Jeff Grammer, Resson Executive Chairman and Partner at Rho Canada Ventures. “With this investment and the hands-on support from agriculture partners focused on data solutions, we are well positioned for future success.”
The company’s Resson Agricultural Management and Analytics System (RAMAS®) integrates large-scale cloud-based data analytics with sensor fusion and robotic platforms to provide agricultural producers with an unequalled view of crop production and field conditions.
“We have worked with Resson from the earliest days of the company and have seen the tremendous potential to improve our operations by using their predictive analytics technology,” said Dirk Van de Put, McCain President and CEO. “We continue to work with Resson towards the implementation of their breakthrough technology and are excited by the prospects it brings to the community of potato professionals.”
“McCain has deep roots in New Brunswick and we have a long history of partnering with local businesses, including Fiddlehead Technology in Moncton, and the non-profit organization Enactus Canada to create social businesses in the region. In addition, we are committed to strengthening economic activity in the Florenceville area which was evidenced in 2015 when we announced our partnership with IBM to establish a technology service centre there to serve McCain and a number of other Canadian companies.”
The Series B funding will allow Resson to expand its product development and sales and marketing efforts. The company will maintain its head office and an expanded technical development team in Fredericton while also adding a business office in San Jose, California.

Right, so finally got my allotment from the local council after about a year and a half of waiting.
So im a complete newbie to this but would like to get fully involved in gardening. The locals are nice and welcoming but I don't like to keep on pestering them for advice.
Wanted to know of any good(free if possible!) books whioch will show from the very basics of how to prepare the the land, and how to grow in very very basic terms.
good websites with practical demionstrations via video would also be a big bonus.


LBA-ECO ND-07 Nitric Oxide Flux from Cerrado Soils, Brasilia, Brazil: 2004Entry ID: ND07_NO_FLUX_CERRADO
Abstract: This data set reports the results of soil nitric oxide (NO) flux, soil moisture, and soil nitrate (NO3) and ammonium (NH4) concentration measurements on Cerrado soils receiving nitrogen fertilization. Measurements and samples were collected from control and fertillized experimental plots on Cerrado soils within the Ecological Reserve of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistic (IBGE), ... Brasilia, Brazil. Sampling dates were from March 26, 2004 to November 25, 2004. The soils had received nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization treatments which began in 1998. The objective of this project was to determine the long-term effects of nutrient addition (N and N+P) in native Cerrado area on N oxide fluxes from soil to the atmosphere. There is one comma delimited (.csv) ASCII file with this data set.

Vitality, innovation, and perfection – these are the top traits that Dümmen Orange breeders and product managers had in mind while developing the new Vitamum garden mum brand, now available for the 2020 retail season.
The Vitamum brand of garden mums features a refined assortment, new mutation-bred families, and interesting new novelty varieties. Many of the products are existing grower favorites that have been reintroduced with a new name, listed alongside the previous name in the catalog for easy reference. The catalog is organized by timing and color to expedite the program-planning process. New families offer reliably matched selections for garden mum growers, including the Homerun family – which features four varieties that are also available as Confetti Garden combinations.
“We’re excited to launch the new brand,” says QiuXia Chen, product manager for Dümmen Orange. “We spent a week with the Dümmen Orange Grower Council to fully vet our new garden mum selections. There are some exciting changes for the 2020 program, and with the rebranding of our program to Vitamum, we continue to build a strong connection with our customers. The Vitamum brand showcases the reliable genetics we are proud to offer growers.”
Along with a refreshed product offering, the Vitamum brand also offers point-of-purchase material to enhance impulse appeal in retail settings. The digital catalog is now available on the Dümmen Orange website, and the printed catalog will be available from broker sales representatives in early December.

There are five viticultural markers that we use each year as markers: notable reference points that indicate where we are compared to other years. These are, in order:
- Budbreak (typically late March or early April)
- Flowering (typically May sometime)
- Veraison (typically late July or early August)
- First Harvest (typically late August or early September)
- Last Harvest (typically late October)
Budbreak gave us the first sign that we were on at least a somewhat later track. Flowering, which we began mid-May but which is still widespread as we get into mid-June, is confirmation that we're looking at a growing season more like last year's than what we got used to the rest of the decade. An example, from one of our Grenache blocks on June 3rd:
If you haven't seen grapevines flowering before, you can be excused for finding it underwhelming. It's not a showy process. Still, the tiny white fuzz-like flowers that appear on the clusters are the first stage of development of the berries. From this point on, if the berries are fertilized successfully, they'll grow in size and mass until veraison, at which point they stop growing but accumulate sugar and ripen the seeds within. As with all parts of the vineyard annual cycle, there are grapes that enter (and exit) flowering earlier and later, with the early grapes being Viognier, Grenache, Grenache Blanc, and Vermentino. They are followed shortly by Marsanne and Syrah, and finally, as much as a month after the early grapes, Roussanne, Counoise, and Mourvedre bring up the rear.
During flowering, you hope for consistent, sunny weather, with only limited wind and no rain. Cold or wet weather at this stage can produce incomplete fertilization, or shatter, where a cluster has a high proportion of unfertilized berries, looking snaggle-toothed and (often dramatically) reducing yields. Some varieties, most notably Grenache, are prone to shatter, while others are less so. This year, the cool spring conditions seem to have delayed flowering long enough that even our late rain in mid-May seems to have rolled through before the flowers were open enough to be susceptible to much damage, and conditions have been ideal ever since. We are cautiously optimistic that shatter won't be a major issue. (It's also worth remembering that overall, conditions in Paso Robles are pretty benign compared to what grapevines face in most parts of the world.)
You'll likely notice a couple of things. First, May was actually cooler than April, for the first time this decade. And it felt like that too. April felt benign, with less than 0.1" of rain, no frosts, and an average high temperature of 73.4F. May was another story. The Paso Robles Wine Festival, which often coincides with our first hot weekend of the year, took place under conditions that felt more like February: low 60s, with rain threatening. We got seven days with measurable precipitation, totaling 1.44" (triple the 0.44" we average in a normal May). The average high temperature was 70.7F, and eighteen days failed to make it into the 70s. Five days failed to make it even into the 60s.
Second, you'll likely notice the rapid recovery of average temperatures in June. This trend actually began the last week of May, which was (fortunately) right when we first saw flowering. But even that warm-up has been modest, as we've yet to have the temperature here break 100. The next week looks like it's supposed to be in the 80s every day. That's pretty much ideal.
Looking for a comp is premature, as so much depends on what comes next, but it's starting off like 2015, where we ricocheted between significantly warmer-than-normal months and significantly cooler-than-normal months. But it's also not that different from 2018, when a cool early season built to a scorching July before settling back down to a cooler harvest. But whatever the future holds, we do have a not-insignificant portion of the growing season behind us, and at this point we're 6.3% below our average number of degree days through June 16th, and 25.8% below our maximum to date (2014). That cool weather, combined with a fairly late budbreak, suggests we're a couple of weeks behind most of our recent years, and unlikely to begin harvest before September. I'll keep updating you throughout the summer, as there's a long way to go.
At this point, we're happy to be most of the way through flowering in good shape, with the vines healthy from the winter rain we received and the lack (so far) of heat spikes, at the roughly one-third point of the growing season. It's not just the grapevines that are flowering away. We've got blooms all over our olive trees:
And the California poppies are still putting on a show, at a time of year when they're often past their primes:
But the main event is, as always, the grapevines. We're thrilled with what we've seen so far. Fingers crossed for more of the same. And if you visit a vineyard in the next few weeks, take a sniff... the scent can be intoxicating.


Even though biodynamics is primarily about organisation and biological activities, soil mineralisation must be considered. Many soils need gypsum or elemental sulphur and boron. Silicon may also be needed to get the soil biology up and running. Plants only perform as well as their most deficient nutrient.

Founded in 2008, Farnham Local Food is a community-run local agriculture project supported almost entirely by volunteer labour. It was felt there was a need, and a niche, for the kind of lifestyle that maintained a healthier attitude towards fresh produce and the production behind it, and so the project was started. If you answer yes to any of these questions, Farnham Local Food could be just what you’re looking for:
- Would you like to grow your own veg but don’t have the time/ability/space, or don’t have access to an allotment?
- Are you concerned for the environment and your carbon footprint, and looking for food that has been produced sustainably; working with nature not against it?
- Would you like to shorten the chain between grower and consumer, and take back ownership of the food system?
- Are you looking to feel more integrated into a community, and meet new people?
- Would you like the opportunity to get outside more, and re-connect with the land?
We currently have land at Runfold and Dippenhall. Our aim is to provide fresh, locally grown vegetables for people in and around the Farnham, Surrey area.
Here’s some of the things we are proud of:
- We care about the environment and are proud that our produce has virtually no food miles, which means we are doing our bit to preserve our planet.
- Our vegetables are the freshest in town, usually being picked on the same day they are collected.
- Same-day freshness guarantees that our veg maintain valuable nutrients which are lost in mass produced supermarket veg that has travelled for miles to reach your table.
- Freshness equals taste – the fresher the veg the tastier they are.
- We aim to maintain a fair comparison price with the supermarket’s organically grown produce. See an example comparison here.
- Although not certified organic, we use organic practices to grow our veg which means everything is free of pesticides.
- We are a community group that is run almost entirely by volunteers. Anyone who joins has the opportunity to actively help out with the scheme. See our Volunteer page for more. We have many volunteers who help and they do so for different reasons: to teach their children about how food gets on the table, to learn about growing veg for themselves, to feel part of a community, to make friends and much more.
- Local and national businesses and charities have supported us over the years, for which we are hugely grateful. Find out more about our sponsors, supporters and donors.
We currently have spaces within our scheme if you would like to receive our produce weekly. There are a three different sizes of share available at very competitive prices, please refer to our Types of Membership page for more information.
If you think FLF is something you may enjoy being part of then come along and see us. All ages, all abilities; everyone is welcome. We hope to see you there!
Please contact us if you are interested in joining.
