We have implemented what we can so far for our LEAF Marque audit, the rest we can do in spring, for example sowing our grass field margins. Then all we have to do is wait for our audit in the next month or two.
Philip and I are now onto completing the Marks and Spencer’s Field to Fork assurance scheme which will be our job over the next month along with starting to get ready for this year’s production by beginning propagating herbs such as Sage and Thyme in the greenhouse.
Winter Purslane is still growing well in our tunnels and is great to see a carpet of bright green salad around the site!
Some of our staff arrive back at the beginning of February after the winter break to help us start preparing for spring by carrying out maintenance of the site, carrying on with propagation etc.
But as is tradition with farming, the weather may put a halt on our plans if winter actually decides to arrive later than expected!
