If you don't know about us - here's a little intro into where we came from...
Spread over 7 acres in Strensall, Goodness Growing is an established farm delivering quality organic veg boxes, offering over 80 seasonal varieties of produce to ensure Veg is grown all year round.
After teaching primary school children for a number of years, owner Caroline decided she wasn’t happy with the quality of veg boxes she had been receiving, so it was time to trade in the whiteboard for se...eds and rent a field from a local pig farmer.
At Goodness Growing York, our ethos is to grow using environmentally and animal friendly farming methods. We are very aware of the direct connection between our health and how the food we eat is produced.
We do not spray our crops with chemicals to help them grow: instead develop fertile soil by growing green manures when the land is not being used for production. Green manures such as clover really help put nitrogen back into the soil and help develop a good growing structure. Of course now we have the Alpaca's - their manure will also help with this too!
We rotate the crops to avoid disease and plant flowers amongst our vegetable crops to encourage ladybirds, hoverflies, bees and beetles to feast on the pests that like to eat our crops. By using natural pest control methods, we can avoid using chemicals or pesticides. It’s a mini beast paradise!
Spread the word and order your first bag via goodnessgrowinguk@gmail.com
