Late Autumn is a somewhat more quieter time on the farm. We opted against cultivating winter crops, in part due to the weather which has been very off-putting, but also because our focus remains on niche oils seeds which almost entirely spring crops.
The seeds that we have in storage have now been given the blessing of ‘dry enough’ for cleaning and so will go to Southwest Seeds Facility in North Cornwall to be filtered ahead of pressing. The Hemp harvest left the farm last week (see picture above) to go for processing up at the East Yorkshire Hemp Co.
And lastly, next week we welcome Toby May to the group. Toby is joining us as Assistant Manager for Trelonk Farm. Farming is very much in the blood for Toby, who has great experience in arable crops having farmed in Yorkshire and Australia. He also wrote his dissertation on Borage while at Agricultural college, so a very welcomed skill set. (Image © Trelonk Ltd )
