Event
Field Scale Vegetable and Salad Production
Soil Association demonstration farm launch event will bring growers together to explore the challenges and opportunities within the sector.
Join us for this event, kindly hosted by Pollybell Farm, launching Soil Association’s Field Vegetable and Salads Learning Network. This event will focus on the practicalities and feasibilities of field scale organic vegetable production and packing.
We will explore:
- How a horticultural enterprise operates within the wider rotation at Pollybell,
- Updates on their early stage trials to reduce cultivations through the use of cover crops, alongside management of lowland peat.
- How vegetable and salad growers could explore challenges and opportunities within the sector through a learning network.
Come join us at this free event to hear from the team at Pollybell Farm; and explore the opportunities for a learning network alongside other growers. Complimentary lunch and refreshments will be included on the day.
