The garden at Plaw Hatch produces forty-five different types of vegetables, fruits and herbs from seed. Ninety-five percent of our garden produce is sold through the Farm Shop. We have eleven polytunnels and twelve acres of rotational land used for field crops, with a focus on seasonal and heritage produce. In the summer tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, beans and salad crops can be found growing in the tunnels along with leafy vegetables which are grown all year round. The field crops supply our customers with autumn and winter staple vegetables such as onions, potatoes, root crops, squash, leeks, kale to name a few. Outside the polytunnels there is a flower garden which supports the diverse insect species found on the farm including many bees and butterflies, as well as flower pollinator strips in the field. These also serve to provide the shop with seasonally available bunches of biodynamic cut flowers on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
