19/03/2008 First supply of 2008. This was purely to test out a new pipeline into London, set up by Caroline Bennett at Moshi-Moshi to combine supplies from the south coast - fish from Hastings and Eastbourne was transported in the same specially adapted refrigerated van and a number of London restaurants will take supplies using the same twice-weekly delivery system.
21/04/2008 Myoga shoots are appearing above ground at our Lewes site. Nira is starting new growth and we are dividing older plants whilst moving them to Isfield. The first new season seeds have now germinated at Isfield - daikon, shungiku, phacelia and clary sage - and we have transplanted the young ashitaba seedlings grown from 2007 harvested seed. Like many growers at this time of year we are working until dusk every day (8.20 this week) to ensure seed is sown in time for the harvests our customers expect. The days are immensely enjoyable, with cuckoos, geese, a woodpecker and a few rabbits keeping us company and warm sunshine with spectacular sunsets if we're lucky.

Micro-climate		   New micro-environments including some woodland and wetland will be available to us later this year after agreement was reached today on the purchase of a further 27 acres of land adjacent to our Cooksbridge site, giving us a total of 60 acres at this location. This will allow us to grow a greater range of crops in their natural habitats and give us all the choice we need for the future.
  Warabi was harvested from our Isfield site recently and we have several more harvests to come! The taste is a little like asparagus. 		Warabi (click for full sized image)
