In episode 2 of the Organic Grower Podcast, we hear from Kate Collyns, founder and grower at Grown Green in Wiltshire.
Kate set up the business in 2010 following a two-year Soil Association Horticultural Apprenticeship and now grows a wide range of vegetables, herbs, salads and flowers for her local market. Kate always has something interesting to say and this conversation is no exception. We talk about taking on more land, buying a tractor, crowd-funding, juggling a wide range of crops for wholesale accounts, growing leeks and a whole lot more. There’s a ton of great insights in this one, so sit back and tune in!
