We are getting busy down on the Farm now that Spring is in the air! Broad bean planting, plum tree pruning and herb seed planting are all happening. It's amazing to think that we could be only 7 weeks away from our the start of our Asparagus season! However, the exact start date is always an unknown as the weather and soil conditions vary from year to year. So watch this space for the latest news from "Down on the Farm"!
