The Three Turnips

‘The Three Turnips’ CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) launched in July 2022 and is a local veg box scheme, providing the local community with a year-round supply of seasonal, nutrient dense vegetables grown in a regenerative way using no-dig principals.

 

The area is approximately 2.5 acres and within this we have planted diverse hedge species, created a beetle bank to help with our Integrated Pest Management and planted a forest garden in the Spring of 2023.  We have also planted willow and hazel which will be used for coppicing and to make compost both for our beds and for seed sowing.

 

We have chosen to follow ‘No Dig’ principles for growing our vegetables which is a low input system focusing on improving and feeding the soil which, in turn, feeds our vegetables. We make amendments here on the farm which help proliferate fungal networks and activate all parts of the Soil Wide Web.
