We are selling pots of cat grass in the farm shop, it's a hit with this cat who has stopped chewing her flatmate's orchids and is thoroughly enjoying it, so much so that we suspect she may be part rabbit

Reusing donated pots really helps us keep the prices of our plants down, it also means instead of shopping for pots we can spend our time planting plants😁🪴🌿

Although we have honey bees in the orchard, most of our pollinating is done by other insects like this lovely Tawney mining bee with its face buried in a broad bean flower #GoodToGrow2024

It's been a good tomato season but we now have pretty much the last of them in the shop, but we also have our delicious monster tromboncinos and a few squashes
