Putting this all into practice is a tough learning curve, one we feel is far from over! Growing successfully all year round is a huge challenge. These tiny crops are very temperamental and any extremes play havoc with their growth and susceptibility to fungus and disease. They require vigilant round the clock care, not unlike babies.

However over-riding all these factors is our family’s’ passion for nature and wildlife. Since the purchase the 5 acre property in 2007 our dream was to help restore a natural balance and allow space for Nature’s recovery. Today the surrounding meadows that once were pasture land for grazing sheep and cattle, are a sanctuary for a bio-diverse ecosystem. From wildflower meadows to an ancient woodland and a mini wetland that perhaps once served as a natural flood defence system off the steeply sloping valley down into the river Taw. It’s been an incredibly exciting journey and a privilege observing how nature finds harmony and balance with just a little help from caring human-kind. 

This we hope is a microcosm of what nature friendly farming looks like and we feel passionately about sharing this good news and our organically grown sustainable super-foods, with local communities. Our memberships and business partnership of the UNESCO North Devon Biosphere, Nature Friendly Farming Network and FOOD DRINK DEVON has helped us fine tune our mission and establish core values that supply a road map for our development and growth. 

We love sharing all the health benefits we’ve experienced by adding microgreens to our diet. From the way we incorporate them in our meals to the fresh veggie juice we’ve become seriously reliant on for vitality and wellbeing. Come join our growing Taw Tribe today!
