More and more people seem to be interested in supplying some part of their income from growing and selling vegetables. I have friends who are cutting their office jobs down to three days a week so they can work in their garden and sell veggies in their office-free time. Others are realising they can make some extra income from their land. For these people, it is all about balancing what pays with what fulfils their wider vision of the good life.

With this in mind, I have developed a two day intensive workshop, Growing Vegetables for Fun and Profit, which provides the tools and information you need to move from a small-scale veggie patch to an income-producing garden, or to set up your own market garden from scratch, or anything in between!

The workshop covers all aspects of growing and selling vegetables, from the first time your spade hits the dirt, right up to when you hand your produce to the buyer. A lot of the learning will take place in the garden and on the farm, and we will explore what types of crops and gardening styles suit you and your land.

Snacks and lunches will be provided, using produce from the farm, so you will walk away replete with good food and good information!

Scroll down to previous blogs if you'd like to see news and views from the farm....

You can contact me for more information on the workshop at tassievalley1@gmail.com, or just reply to this blog.

Cheers for now,
Alex Taylor.
