Vegetables, compost, smallholding
Yews Farm, East Street, Martock, TA12 6NF
About us
I have grown no-dig, organic vegetables for 40 years, using a bed system, growing everything from seed, most crops started in 40 year old modules. We have vegetables all year round, our diet follows the seasons, never a dull moment. We make as much compost as possible to keep the soil in good health, and we also make apple juice, cider and cider vinegar from an orchard of heritage varieties. We have hens too.

A tasting, A tour
Join me on Thursday 24 for a tour of the vegetable garden looking at each crop and discussing how best to grow them. I will share tips from my 40+ years experience growing vegetables the no-dig way for our own kitchen. We will also talk about looking after your soil, making compost, and the cider barn – and included are free apple juice and cider tastings.
The tour is free but please book your place by emailing me (address below in Practicalities).
