Fen Peas

I know it's difficult to believe but these are organic peas! Unlike previous years we have not put these in our programme as such, but drilled them when conditions were just right for them. It seems to have paid off. They were completed yesterday and will now adorn the plates of Waitrose shoppers. All the machines are now back together, which makes the management of the operation easier. When you split them up the logistics of getting water and fuel to them is a pain, and a lot of hours on the road. Organics rightly command a premium for the extra work that goes into the crop, and also that we have to leave wherever we are and go and harvest them when they are ready.
