So it has been over two years since I last wrote on the news section of the website! Time flies when you are working on a farm!
We have been very busy re-focussing our energies on growing only crops we can do a first class job of, ones that suit our soil, climate and expertise; namely onions, carrots and parsnips.
We even invested in a new farm building for the first time in 20 years, putting up a new onion store this year. Although not the Taj Mahal it is beautiful to me and will help us to produce the best quality onions and remain competitive, and keep our energy footprint down. Think James Bond control centre but for onions.
Another exciting development on the farm is our first venture into rural tourism. We have built the first “Bagthorpe Biodome”, a luxury low-carbon eco-pod in the heart of our farm. Peaceful and relaxing it is ideal for a recharging break. To find our more check out www.canopyandstars.co.uk
