Hear it on "The Grapevine"

Welcome to the "Grapevine!"
We're always a very busy lot spreading ourselves between the plant centre, the farm shop and the fields, growing and selling lots of wonderful local produce. Follow our "Grapevine" where we'll keep you up to date with what we're doing, what we're growing and share all those lovely plants and produce with you.

 Who are the Green Team?



James is our (almost) veteran horticulturist, who despite his tender young age and boyish good looks is already approaching 30 years of working in the gardening industry! During this time he's run one of the region's biggest garden centres, been a writer for a national gardening magazine as well as numerous regional publications and had a plant phtography business.


Michelle (James's other half) has grown up with the business since her parents launched it over 15 years ago. Anyone who knows Michelle knows she never sits still and so she's the driving force behind everyone else and keeps us all on our toes. There's nothing she likes better than getting her hands dirty and masterminding the growing of all our crops for the plant centre.


Sarah is our resident food fanatic and the Manager of our Farm Shop. She just loves to get her hands on as much fresh local produce as possible, wether its to sell in the shop or experiment with at home where she's always cooking up new ideas. Sarah always has plenty to say and is full of ideas and suggestions to spice up your meal times so keep watching the grapevine for some really tasty ideas!

We are also very ably assisted by Al, Rita, Betty and Milly, with hopefully one or two more fresh faces joining us very very soon!. Here's Milly pouring a smoothie at one of our many tasting days




Happy 50th Birthday to our "Little Red Tractor!"

Here's another vital member of our team, our Massey Ferguson 35 (our "Little Red Tractor!"). Its now fifty years since our 35 first came into the family when Sam Debbage (James's Grandad) first took delivery of it; fresh off the production line. The 35 has been used on almost a daily basis ever since and he even makes frequent appearances at the farm shop for the kids to enjoy!
