Welcome to Falmouth's Market Farm

We are a Community Supported Agriculture farm growing tasty and sustainable veggies

We're now reserving places for Spring 2021 through to Winter 2022

Why join our CSA

Our farm and practices

Soul Farm is 3 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.

The farmers protests in India are ongoing and they continue to be met with human rights abuses as their freedom of protest is denied. We wrote to our local MP today asking him to support India’s farmers by calling the UK government to revise its approach to aid in India, to stop exporting pesticides to India that are banned here in the UK and to raise concerns with the India government and the UN about the human rights crisis taking place. Thanks to the @landworkersalliance and @ravideepkaur_ for points in your templates on what to raise in the letter. For an easy way to write to your MP, visit WritetoThem.com

We realised recently that we hadn’t included our Falmouth collection point on our sign up process on our website for our veg box scheme. Oops! So this is just a little post to make it *very* clear that we are supplying Falmouth in our upcoming Community Supported Agriculture season - May 2021 to February 2022. We have a sliding scale of options for every income. The link is in our bio. Tell your Falmouth friends!

We’re in the hungry gap! We’re in the part of the year where there’s not a lot ready for harvesting on the farm and we’re having to buy a lot in for our boxes. But we’re really proud of the partnerships we’ve made with other farms that share our vision. We see this arrangement as a way of helping each other while keeping you in good veg. But hang tight, we’re looking after the plants and they’ll be looking after all of us.

Packing CSA boxes today and using the last of our veg apart from salad. With beds emptying we’re encouraged by being able to sow our fist early carrots in our new low tunnels. We’ll be down at the @foodbarn.tregew as normal despite the weather tomorrow.

The Soul Farm team has grown! Naomi Hannam is our new part time grower and on-field volunteer liaison. Alongside gardening, she is a forest school leader, community artist and creative facilitator. We asked her what she likes best about working at Soul Farm and she said: “Work with people that have shared beliefs in growing beautiful, delicious, earth friendly food in a way that nurtures community. That said, I love planting seeds and arriving in the early to pick the BEST salad and edible flowers under the moon.” Get to know Naomi through our interview with her. The link is in our bio.

Soul Farm is hiring! We’re looking for someone friendly and who shares our values to join our team as a Delivery Driver and Market Stand Manager. We’re a small team, a relatively new company, working to make difference and we’re looking to expand our operation quickly this year. The role has a strong human focus, particularly as it involves building face-to-face relationships with our community. The link to the job description is in our bio.

One of the things we did in our little seed blessi

One of the things we did in our little seed blessing was to think about the community these plants will be feeding this year. There are so many levels of interdependence when food is grown in a project like this. The plants need our tending, the community needs feeding and we need the community’s support. It’s more than knowing where food is coming from - there’s an invitation to mindfully connect. The link is in our bio if you’d like to learn more about joining our veg box scheme. PS: the seedlings from the seeds we saved are growing WAY faster than the ones we bought this year.

Candle for fire, singing for air, carefully considered peat-free compost, a quiet moment together beforehand for community and spirit, an apple cake and a 9 year old violinist playing folk songs for JOY. Cornish rain soon made sure we had all the water a first seed sowing of the year could need.

Lots of boxes and bags for our CSA winter veg box scheme and pre-packed boxes for market. We have a range of different options for you tomorrow and you can also pick up salad, kale, radish, chard, carrots, celery, celeriac and other goodies individually. See you tomorrow maybe at @foodbarn.tregew

Since our second growing season (just last year),

Since our second growing season (just last year), we’ve been delivering solidarity veg boxes to local people experiencing food insecurity. With our sliding scale tier system we’ve been able to seriously and sustainably increase this work. We’re looking forward to feeding and connecting with many more households who need access to good food in the May 2021 to February 2022 CSA (community supported agriculture) veg box scheme. If you haven’t signed up yet, take a closer look (link in our bio). Those who sign up on the two highest tiers fund boxes for “low income” and solidarity boxes.

Strange to think that founder Laurence left his stable 9-5 in the creative industries just over a year ago to go full time on @soul.farm. “It was a risk to do that with a family though I recognise my privilege gave me confidence to go for it. I was desperate to work outside, didn’t want to miss out on spending proper time with the kids while they were little and felt convicted I couldn’t sit on my office chair and watch while others did what needs to be done. It’s grown quickly and a lot of that is down to support. I had a pretty solid business plan, happened to be offered an incredible location and lots of support from @Adelejk and @ian_brydon_ . Let’s see how this year pans out. In so many unknowns I know accessible organically grown food is important.” Photo: @amsbullock

We saved some seeds this year and, having rushed to get a seed order in before Brexit, we’re so conscious that we need to extend this part of our work. The more we work with the land, the more we learn to respect these smallest of miracles.

We had our first team meeting of the year on the farm this morning. It was our first as a team of four and we talked about how so much has accidentally come together over the past year. In many ways, we’re always feeling our way and this morning was even more so as we were considering plans and expecting change. The work here carries on, albeit at a slower winter’s pace, and we’re sending you love from where we stand.

After a great first week we’re back tomorrow for

After a great first week we’re back tomorrow for our second market at the @foodbarn.tregew. We were blown away about how many people turned up last Saturday!

Tomorrow we’re bringing you our famous salad, kale, the first of our cabbages and also some cabbages and cauliflower from an organic farm in Penzance. Our own turnips, beets, onions and squash. As well as some Riverford leeks, sprouts, mushrooms and parsnips.

Lots of other basics to luxuries from us and other sellers: coffee to oysters to refill goods. You could almost do a full shop with us!

Come and stock up 9 till 1.

In this last stretch of Giving Tuesday and opener

In this last stretch of Giving Tuesday and opener to December, remember you can help us make food accessible to all by joining next year’s CSA veg box scheme (the link is in our bio). We operate on a sliding payment scale. Those who join the “upper” and “higher” income brackets will help us fund shares for people in Cornwall experiencing food poverty. And every membership helps keep us going.

Another gift of our CSA veg box scheme is a connection to where your food comes from. Yes you’re reducing your food miles but you’re also getting to know your farmers. CSA members can always pop us a message to ask questions and offer suggestions. We also have a CSA members group on Facebook where we share recipe ideas and share some of what’s happening in the field. By connecting with us this way, you’re supporting small farming and partnering with us as part of the solution to environmental devastation. We are committed to practices that capture and store carbon, and to encouraging biodiversity. The future is small when it comes to food production. 📷 @amsbullock [images: 1.
