Short profile:
We are a green company with a very low carbon foot print. Caring for the environment is very important to us.
Detailed description:
We farm holistically and organically without the use of herbicides or pesticides and use nature and hard work to minimise the damage caused by pests such as biological control, regular hand removal of slugs and snails, companion planting and encourage natural wildlife habitats for greater biodiversity. We start sowing our seeds in January using the biodynamic cycle.
We were runners up in the 2010 FSB Small Business Awards for Environmental Responsibility. We have also been awarded a Dartmoor First award.
The nursery is off grid, we create our own electricity with solar panels and a wind turbine and harvest rain water for our plants.
