Fruit & Vegetables

Veg Garden

We operate a small no-dig market garden at the farm, growing just enough to sustain the restaurant and a little extra for the courtyard shop. We are not certified organic but refrain from any pesticides or herbicides in our production, aiming to work with nature, building soil health and increasing biodiversity 

Fruit trees & Orchard

In late 2021 we found ourselves in touch with Ben Norwood from Forest for Cornwall to explore what options may be available to us for regenerating the valley and its lost trees, and for a more extensive agroforestry project in our front field. 

Ben introduced us to James & Mary Martin, a remarkable couple who have dedicated much of their lives to the conservation and regeneration of the apple and cherry varieties native to the Tamar valley. Throughout the autumn and winter of 2022, with their advice and help, we planned and plotted an avenued orchard in our front field. An orchard that might work in harmony with our grazing animals and that will, in time, produce fruit for the farm and beyond.

We have also begun a small agroforestry project, planting a mix of fruit and nut trees, interplanted with edible perennials; gooseberries, blackcurrant, rhubarb, & artichokes.
