Story
We have come on leaps and bounds in a short space of time at the garden, we have a space and have built some welfare facilities so more charitable and voluntary groups and their service users can join us in all our wonderfully wilded nature. The next phase of our journey needs another structure, we would like to invest into a commercial polytunnel to grow, teach and learn together in. Whilst they are more expensive than a garden polytunnel, they are more robust for our purpose and offer a little more security. We would like to install an aquaponics system, this would offer us a dual food crop whilst working in harmony with what the site has offered us. Aquaponic farming uses 80% less water than traditional growing practices.
Having a system like this will offer us the opportunity to share the techniques and systems with people who are interested in growing and volunteers that help tend the crops will be entitled to a share of them - a unique experience to grow your own food with technologies that are normally to costly to operate at a non commercial level.
We are working with an established business to deliver this system who has a direct line to market for the produce, the extra funding for equipment of this project will be funded via the sale of our fish.
