We’re excited to announce that, next week, our MD Natasha Edwards will offer thoughts on how we value the way food is grown, raised or produced in her TEDx talk in Worthing on Monday 5th October. Inspired by her Nuffield Farming Scholarship study, Natasha explores the difference between ‘values’ and ‘value’ and how we reconnect with the true value of everything farming can deliver, beyond growing good food.

How do we value the health of our surroundings and each other? Who is most impacted by the true cost of food?

Every time we eat, we interact with these big questions.

If you’d like to attend the TEDx Worthing show live you can purchase tickets from link in bio

Update from Barnes about our herbal ley planted directly after our garlic crop. A request/question… for anyone who can help us improve the herbal ley establishment in our organic system. Our garlic is in a five year rotation so will be back in this field in 2031. In the meantime we need to improve soil health through cover crops and grazing our livestock through this field.

It's our B Corp anniversary today and we’ve been reflecting on the progress we’ve made since we began measuring our impact in 2019.

A few key learnings...

🧄Since launching the Garlic Lovers’ Garden in March, we have welcomed more than 400 people through educational visits, volunteering opportunities and community events.

🧄We have produced more than 500kg of organic produce for our restaurant and converted nearly one tonne of raw food waste into nutrient- and microbe-rich compost for our soils.

🧄This year, our solar panels generated 140,730 kWh of renewable electricity, up from 106,621 kWh last year.

🧄This year, 6.8% of our sales came from organic products - another important step towards our long-term organic transition.

Measuring our impact gives us the evidence to celebrate our successes, recognise our challenges and keep asking how we can do better for people, the planet and our community.

Thanks to all of our community, customers and partners for their support on this journey.

Spotted at our WETsystem 👀

We were excited to hear news of a Golden-ringed Dragonfly on our organic farmland, at the shallow pools of our waste water treatment system. This distinctive black and yellow insect breeds in acidic streams and rivers with the larvae spending as long as 5 years in the water. It is the UK's longest dragonfly and quite the predator (it even eats other dragonflies).

Thanks to James Gloyn for this marvellous photograph.
