How to grow two crops while only sowing one!

Our Cereal Rye is up with amazing germination, and we’ve got a bonus volunteer buckwheat layer popping through. Double win for the soil! 🌱

Why cereal rye?
• Fast to establish in cool temps + super winter-hardy
• Dense roots = erosion control + nutrient capture over winter
• Big spring biomass for natural w**d suppression and soil armor

Why the (volunteer) buckwheat?
• Quick canopy to smother autumn w**ds
• Fine roots help unlock phosphorus and feed soil biology
• Flowers (if it gets that far) = snacks for pollinators 🐝
• Frost-tender—winter will cleanly terminate it ❄️

What’s next?
Winter frosts take out the buckwheat while rye keeps building biomass. Come late spring, we’ll roller-crimp the rye (at bloom) to lay down a thick, in‑situ mulch for next summer’s crop—locking in moisture, blocking w**ds, and cutting tractor passes. Less tillage, more soil life. 💪

Some stunning rainbow chard fresh from the farm!
Grown organically and bursting
with colour (and flavour), chard is one of the most underrated greens out there.

You can sauté the leaves like spinach, chop the stems into stir-fries, or toss it into pasta, soups, or even omelettes for a pop of colour and nutrition.

High in vitamins A, K, and C — and absolutely gorgeous too. Call into our stall in the English Market to pick some up.
