NamaYasai LLPNewly established in 2005, we are 'natural agriculture' growers of Japanese vegetables and herbs. Based in Lewes, in the county of East Sussex, England, our range includes shungiku, gobo, shiso, nira, naga-negi, daikon, kabu, edamame, mitsuba, mizuna, karashina, myoga, kabocha and hourensou. No pesticides and no artificial fertilizers are used and although our methods mean a shorter growing season the result is a taste second to none. Japanese varieties are used throughout. All produce that we supply has been picked from the plant the same day and we do not buy in from other growers or wholesalers – everything we supply is grown by us on our land. In 2007 we completed our 3-year crop trials with a range of green manures being tested for compatibilty with our longer-term objectives. We grew a wider range of salad leaves, red and black daikon, new varieties of shungiku, and harvested the first sansho, ashitaba and naga-imo. Two new varieties of edamame were grown as we strove to increase the number of pods per stem and the nitrogen-fixing potential of these plants, but whilst nodule formation was successful the pod yield was too low for sales, due to exceptionally low summer temperatures. We are currently preparing an additional 8 acres of land which will allow us to grow larger volumes and a wider range of produce in 2008. An unsurpassed range of salad leaves will be available to the catering trade from June. For more information please telephone 01273 470 667 or email info@namayasai.co.uk. |
