Welcome to Falmouth's Market Farm

While so much is up in the air the food continues to grow. Veg box membership is open again!

Veg box sign up is OPEN!

Since our business model partly hinges on supplying Falmouth restaurants, we’ve been dealt a blow, along with everyone else. We’re adapting by opening up our veg box scheme to more members.
Please consider joining us. This may be a time when we can genuinely help each other. You’ll be helping us keep going over the coming months and we’ll keep your fresh local veg coming.

We're re-opening the 2020 veg box membership

Soul Farm is 1.5 acre no-dig market farm growing seasonal vegetables in Falmouth, Cornwall

We sell to restaurants in Falmouth and the surrounding area and we’re running a CSA veg box scheme. We’re looking to connect community and growers, so that you know what you’re getting. Labels like organic become irrelevant because you know exactly where your food comes from. Trust is built up, and customers can communicate with the farm and give feedback, it’s a membership, a club and a team.

Stay up to date

Food is coming. Very excited to be able to start doing the first boxes next week. We had lots of sowing and planting this week as well as continued infrastructure projects and opening up new beds. The response to opening up our CSA has been phenomenal and we now have just under 60 members. We’ll be closing registration soon.

This is Ian. He started out volunteering last year as we were winding the season down. He’s now a paid, much needed member of our team. He has been integral over the winter getting the new beds ready and putting up polytunnels (pictured). Ian brings a South African flavour to the party, to add to the British and Caribbean. Having spent years on the high seas delivering yachts he’s now moving into a more grounded profession. 📷 @tompitra

If anyone is buying green waste compost in bulk for your no dig garden, I highly recommend buying in Summer when the material is less woody, and then leaving it for 6 months. This is the result and it’s full of worms rather than hot and steaming. p.s if you want a salad/ microgreens box through April, message us for details.

In case you’re looking to support your local farmer and secure an abundance of weekly veg, we’d like to introduce you to a new extra that can be added our weekly veg boxes: Olfactory coffee. Other extras include eggs and flowers. Sign up to reserve your space. The season starts in May but we’re also doing a stop gap greens box for April so we don’t waste veg that was destined for restaurants. @olfactorycoffee

Thank you to all who came yesterday to our volunteer day. We shifted a lot of compost, made more beds, sowed more seeds and started putting up the second polytunnel. Satisfying progress! The food will grow. Thanks to 📷@tompitra for the photo.

Whatever your feed is flooded with right now, we want you to see this - that things are growing and will continue to grow. The radishes are nearly here. We have microgreens. We have salad. Lots more is being sown. The tomatoes have been potted on. There is certainty coming through the soil at a time of uncertainty. The food needs to get to people.

We don’t know what will happen. Our current model depends on restaurants in Falmouth so this is a huge blow we choose to see as a challenge. We plan to diversify our crops a bit more, get food out early and think about how we can get healthy veg to our community. There will be food. We want it to be eaten. How we adapt depends on how things unfold.

So we’d like to stay in touch with you. If you’d like to be informed of how our food will be available local to Falmouth and surrounds, please go to the link and give us your email. Perhaps this is a time when we can genuinely help each other and work out how to help yet others. After all, the food is continuing to grow.

Radishes are not far off. Hopefully in time for Easter. I think they’re such an under-appreciated, immune boosting, vitamin C rich vegetable and so great in a salad. Garlic roasted radish is awesome too.

It’s time we put more effort into our plants at home. Last season our home garden was a bit neglected as we got the farm started. Here we’re planting a self pollinating blueberry tree and a kiwi. The kiwi will hopefully climb all over the wall behind us.

It’s happening!!! Our propagation space is almost full. We planted out some radishes today outside under fleece which feels sooo good. #marketgarden #gardening #seedlings

I’m emptying all my over wintered beds and the outdoor beds are a bit wind battered. But so good to spend some time foraging for a few of my customers. #wildgarlic #foraging

We had an ace time at @indidogeatery for my birthday last week. @adelejk had fishfinger sandwich like this one in the photo. It was bizarre but soo cool to eat my own leaves in a restaurant. {photo 📷 @indidogeatery repost}

An update from the week - we don’t have much frost where we are, this sometimes makes us complacent to it, and I had to scramble to fleece the plants. But we took advantage of the light wind and clear skies to finally get the caterpillar tunnel back up after the storm before Christmas. We’ve also been writing funding applications, adapting our holistic context for 2020 and Laurence was also invited by @greenlivingfalmouth to do a talk in advance of watching the movie “Seed”. It’s been a busy one.

Great to have some blue sky as we finish of the first plot - now named “Mowtown”. Then we’ll be moving on to “Iree”. Amazing that it was warm enough to just be in a tshirt. Apart from prepping ground and some projects we’re now spending time with chefs and planning the season ahead. Also 1 place left on the veg box membership. We may well re-open it before the season starts in May. Maybe.

So nice to be back on the farm yesterday. This is some mibuna loving the sun.
I’ve been away at the Oxford Real Farming Conference. Was lovely to catch up and make new friends and also get some real inspiration especially in the fields of social justice from @landinournames @rocksteadyfarm and @soulfirefarm.
We’re carefully considering how to make sure our practice as inclusive as possible and to identify food needs here in Cornwall. We’ve funded a couple of food boxes for low income families and excited that could be the start of something.
I loved hearing from Ash @trillfarmgarden and love his outlook and free spirit, his love of nature and a reminder that play is important. I also loved continuing my education in Lean Farming from @claybottomfarm. We have to make our farms more efficient so we use less land and are able to return more to nature.

For those that know. Know. This is gold. 20 tons of it I reckon. Oh and that sunrise is okay I guess? #marketgarden #deepmulch #nodig #notill #notillmarketgarden

Wow. Thanks so much to the awesome 111 of you. I think I’m going to write everyone’s name on a sign irrespective of the reward or pledge you went for. You are all awesome. We have just until 10.12pm tonight for the campaign to run. #linkinprofile

A photo from warmer days to celebrate the warmth we feel at reaching our target on the Crowdfunder. Thanks so much to everyone who has supported this. Now we have a few days to look at stretch goals ☑️ subsidised veg boxes for low income families ☑️ more manure, more beds, more food ☑️ another polytunnel
