Despite people being off on holidays we’ve been out and about supporting the Air show in Eastbourne and the new weekly farmer’s market in Lewes.
The airshow meant we did 4 days on the seafront promoting Plants4Presents and watching the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain flight – neither of which I’d seen before and both of which were really worth seeing – the Red Arrows really are amazing. Here’s a pic of part of the stand.

The other main outings we’ve made are to the new weekly farmer’s market in Lewes. This has been organised by the local Transition Town group and has become really well supported.
As well as the usual artisan bread, organic cheese and meat and home cooking there are no less than 3 vegetable stalls.
The one we’re involved in is a collaboration between ourselves and two other local organic growers, Ashurst Organics who run a Box Scheme of their own that we supply with produce and Noannah who’s also – like Ashurst – based in Plumpton. We work with Noannah at the Hassocks market also which is the 4th Saturday of the Month.
We found that works well to collaborate like this as we only have to run the market every third week. We did last week and we’re on again on the 10th September.
The other advantage of collaboration like this is that we can provide a much wider range of produce than any of us would be able to do on our own. Here are a couple of pics of the market and our stall. Hope to see you out and about – next solo market for us is Uckfield on 4th September.
