"Its Bloomin Organic!"
On the 8th of may we celebrated the first full year on the land at Barham, Canterbury. Its been alot of work, clearing tree roots,moving tons of manure. Making as much compost as humanly possible and preparing the land for serious growing! Our aim is to supply as many foodbanks and other charities as possible, getting incredible food to as many people as we can.
The beds are ready, most already planted up. Seedlings ready to go and the first few bits coming ready. So next week should begin with lettuce, peas, radish, spring onions, spinach and potatoes with turnips possible.
We still need to cover our pollytunnel, build a shed and create the strawberry growing space. So keeping busy!
Produce Supply for Food Banks
After growing on a small patch for ten weeks, we began to harvest fresh top quality, beyond organic food for dover pantry (registered charity) we have been able to supply them every week through the summer. we managed to prepare 30 square meters, the entire plot is 600 square meters. so next year we will be supplying as many foodbanks as possible.

Our history
From modest beginnings, we've grown through unwavering dedication and a commitment to continuous improvement. Each step has reinforced our core belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of integrity. We're passionate about what we do, and we're excited to share our story with you.
So, it's just us three, and for the last few years we have put our own money into this project. We began on an allotment, and when we lost that we felt so blessed to find The Fifth Trust and Green banks .Now we are looking for help. We need help funding our next stage, we are trying to buy good quality polly tunnel. our Wday to day cost and everything we have purchased so far has been out of our own pockets. Hopefully the paperwork will be in order for the charity commission soon, but in the meantime we are going to open a go fund me page with the link below. any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
