As 2025 draws to a close, we’ve been looking back at what this year has held for the farm, the veg boxes, the flowers, and the wider community we’re lucky to be part of. It’s been a year of hard work, resilience, and some very proud moments.
This year felt like a real step forward in both productivity and soil health. We harvested and sold 464kg of tomatoes – up from 368kg last year – and grew, sold and donated over a tonne of courgettes, keeping both our customers and local food projects well supplied.
We harvested 1,078 kohlrabi and 958 bags of Aztec broccoli (Huazotle), and for the first time ever began supplying wholesale through Organic North. Alongside this, we saw a noticeable improvement in our soil and crop health – proof that our long-term organic approach is paying off.
Our flower field was buzzing with life this year. We hosted 7 Pick Your Own flower sessions, welcoming 65 people to gather their own blooms straight from the farm.
We provided flowers for 10 weddings, sold 88 hand-tied bouquets, and supplied 1,300 stems for wholesale. In the run-up to winter, 24 people joined us for our Christmas wreath workshops.
In total, we grew over 150 different flower varieties, bringing colour not just to our field, but into homes, venues and celebrations across the region.
2025 was another big year for the veg box scheme. We delivered over 19,000 boxes, averaging around 370 boxes every single week.
Alongside the veg, customers purchased 446 bottles of Regather Apple juice through their boxes. The most loved extras this year were organic eggs, glass-bottled whole milk from Our Cow Molly, and organic bananas.
We’re proud to make regular weekly donations to ShipShape and Food Works, supported by customer donations too. One of the most joyful moments of the year came in the first week of December, when 154 of our 364 deliveries were made by cargo trike – proving that low-carbon food systems really can work.
Our event spaces were busier than ever. We hosted 44 events, including:
Each event brought people together on the farm in different ways, turning this space into much more than just a place of work.
Beyond the farm, we worked on 12 garden designs for households, helping people grow more of their own food and flowers at home.
We also loved collaborating with schools and community spaces, including:
And we’ll be continuing work on the new orchard at Coneygree Woods through the winter of 2025.
This autumn, we pressed 6,473 kilos of apples, producing 2,647 litres of juice and filling 4,484 bottles. An amazing effort that turned surplus local fruit into something delicious and shelf-stable for the community.
But perhaps the biggest news of all this year: after 15 years based on Club Garden Road, we were finally able to purchase our building. A huge moment of stability and excitement for the future of the project.
None of this would be possible without our customers, volunteers, growers, and supporters. Every veg box ordered, every bouquet bought, every workshop booked helps keep this project alive, growing, and rooted in the community.
Here’s to 2026 — and everything still to come.
