One of the biggest challenges in growing food is ensuring a steady, reliable supply. When your business depends on delivering a consistent quantity and quality of produce every week – through all seasons – you quickly realise how tricky that can be.

Supermarkets, with their year-round abundance, can make it seem like seasons barely matter. But anyone who grows food knows the truth: seasons are real, harvests fluctuate and there are moments in the year when your fields simply don’t offer much for the share.

Experienced growers, however, have learned how to stretch the seasons, smooth out the gaps, and keep boxes varied and exciting through smart, intentional crop planning.

In this session, Becca Steveson & Connie Booth will share their hard-won expertise to help you plan confidently, maintain diversity and navigate the year, including not just surviving the hungry gap but thriving through it.
