Nell's Patch (formaly known as Rosie and Nell's Veg)
Updates from our local farmer Nell with her Stroud grown salad and veg.
“Last year I was selling through StroudCo as 'Rosie and Nell's Veg'. Rosie and I had about two thirds of an acre under cultivation and we grew quite a variety of chemical free produce. This year, Rosie has decided to leave the business, so I have renamed as 'Nells Patch'. I am leasing my land from Stroud Community Agriculture, who rent an acre at Oakbrook Community Farm.
For the next couple of months I'll be selling the last of the winter veg: Leeks, Kale, Spinach, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Stir Fry and Salad Mixes. As we head into the Spring and Summer I am downsizing my plot quite substantially. This is to make it more manageable as I will be working alone. As a result, I will only be growing my Salad Mix and some seasonal herbs, in order to have a more streamlined and efficient business.
I have started sowing a mix of vegetables and flowers to sell as seedlings in the Spring, so keep an eye out if you're planning on growing your own this Summer! Don't hesitate to contact me about any vegetable growing queries you may have.”
