April news

Our first newsletter is now available - please let us know if you'd like a copy.

We've decided that we were a little ambitious to consider starting the veg boxes in early April, considering the birth of our baby is imminent! So, as we've communicated to our paid-up members, we've delayed the launch to June, which will also give us a bit more time to sort out the lottery grant, website, administrative procedures and the rest of the work behind the scenes.

Volunteers are very welcome on Wednesdays - please do let us know if you're thinking of coming up though, it helps us to plan work and make sure the right tools are there if possible

We've been selling lots of salad and coriander, through Fruition Greengrocers, Bridies Yard food coop and the SOL market stall. The salad bags contain a mix of unusual oriental leaves including mizuna, pak choi, winter purslane, rocket, red and green mustard leaves.

There's still time to sign up for the scheme, with a full share or a half-share option. If you are interested, send us an email to torganics@hotmail.com and we'll send you the subscription forms and more information. You can also sign up as a member without taking a vegetable share, this will entitle you to continue to receive information through the newsletter and come to our social events on the farm later in the year
