The world deserves better veg!
Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, United Kingdom
Aim
Help us expand our covered area and provide the local community with more fresh, organic and seasonal veg all year round.
Hello!
We are Pawel and Wioletta and we’ve been growing certified organic veg for the past 6 years. We believe in quality, seasonal and nutritious produce delivered to your door, restaurant or local market. We want to nourish people with good, fresh food as a much better alternative than a mainstream, mass produced, low quality options. We believe that better, more nutritious food choices lead to healthier and happier community. We love what we do and we really appreciate the ongoing community support to keep the farm going.
Challenges
Unfortunately… last winter was particularly challenging and we lost a lot of produce. About 60% of our winter cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage have been destroyed. This was due to the weather conditions totally out of our control. We had to change how we operate, stretch our budgets even further and work very hard to bring the farm back to where it was so we can keep producing quality fruit and veg.
Luckily… We have an opportunity to create a safety net for the future.
New Opportunity
Sometimes bad things mean something better is going to happen. We have a new opportunity to rent an additional piece of land ideal for increasing the covered area. The perfect space to fit several commercial polytunnels and take our business to the next level. This will allow us to produce more vegetables all year round and offer better food for the community.
Polytunnels
With you support, we are planning to build two commercial polytunnels (24ft x 90ft). This will give us over 400 square meters of covered space. Wow, It'll fit a lot of salads and greens in winter!
Each polytunnel will cost £5325, giving us a total cost of £10650.
That's a lot of money, but you get what you pay for.
Price includes: framework, polythene cover, foundation (anchor plates), cover fixing (timber base rail), belt & braces (crop bars & twin support braces), side ventilation and screen on both sides, front and rear sliding double door.
Price excludes: installation. We will build it ourselves with the help of a friendly local grower.
