We are coming into the busiest time of year for us at Russell Smith Farms. Whilst some crops are still growing for harvest later in the season, we are beginning to harvest others. Irrigation has been keeping everyone busy due to the dry weather in July. We have also been hosting visits to the farm from a wide range of people including schools, the local Cub pack, gardening clubs as well as a party of visitors from Germany.

This week sees our 2007 harvest in full swing. We are harvesting several varieties of early potatoes, including Charlotte and Maris Peer, as well as Organic Maris Peer. We have also begun harvesting our organic onions, which means that there is a fantastic smell around the farm! Our harvest workforce is now at full strength, with many of them involved in the harvest of our organic beetroot, which is bunched for supply to several Organic Box Schemes. We have also begun our cultivations for next year's crops. |
