As another week draws to a close we are ready to tackle the next. The increased moisture levels and cooler night time temperatures have done wonders for this organic broccoli. Excellent quality and the hard working teams are cutting it at optimum quality.

Great to see increasing numbers of lady birds in organic broccoli. Never ceases to amaze the link between pest and predator. #organicvegetables #greengrowconsultancy #sustainablefarming

Today we joined forces with Championing the Farmed Environment to host a farm walk focusing on integrated pest management and how we best play host to many beneficial insects. A great mix of speakers with insightful debate and luckily the weather held out. #farming #environment

[Pollybell Organic @pollybellfarm]

We have partnered up with a great team at Earth Rover to develop a method of crop scouting and location. By using very accurate GPS and multispectral cameras we are recording every plant as it’s planted and then continue to collect information through the growing cycle. #farming
