We’re running our Peat Free Plant Sale in May!
The extraction of peat does great harm to our environment; damaging ecosystems, spoiling ground water, disrupting natural habitats and releasing CO2.
Peat free compost uses natural fibres such as bark or wood fibre, removing the need for peat and reducing our carbon footprint. Win win!
Join us for this bumper plant sale, or buy our produce year-round from our Farm Shop, safe in the knowledge we are a peat-free farm.
Catch the sale at 👇
Five Acre Farm (Backwell): 15th-17th May
Tobacco Factory Sunday Market: 3rd May
