Who we are
About the farm
We are a community vegetable-growing co-operative founded in 2011 at Ovington in Northumberland's Tyne Valley: our members are both the consumers and the producers. On three fields and in five polytunnels, led by our contracted grower Ian Todd, we grow around 14 tonnes of vegetables a year without chemicals (apart from organic slug pellets), using manure, green composts and a four-crop rotation, from carrots, onions and potatoes to calabrese and mizuna. Members collect their weekly crop share 50 weeks a year from Ovington or Hexham; our workshare members receive their share in return for 4 hours of work a week. We run workshops and events and welcome volunteers.

Write a review
How we check reviews: the reviewer's email address is verified with a confirmation email, and one address can review a farm only once. We do not check whether the reviewer has bought from the farm. Every review is checked by a person before it appears; reviews that are offensive, contain personal data or are not about the farm are not published. The “Producer” label is given only when the email address belongs to a FarmAtlas farm. The farm can reply once.
