Melanie Smith from the farm said
“There was a real buzz in the air when the huge lorry arrived, and everyone showed willing and started to help to move the soil into our new poly tunnel. We are excited about all the fruit and vegetables we are going to be able to grow now that we have this poly tunnel filled with such lovely soil. Thank you so very much for helping us with this project which is going to help educate others about fruit and vegetable production and give a sense of purpose to many who attend our Care Farm, from the planting, watering and eventual harvesting of fresh home grown produce to promote healthier living and lifestyles”
