William & I have ran this side of things since 2004 after taking over the business from Williams Mum & Dad.
William is 'hands on' where as I do all the 'other stuff' from home.
Market Gardeners is our official title. We grow our own seasonal crops that we pick & weigh by hand & sell at farmers Markets across the North West.
We have large glasshouses that we grow early potatoes in, green beans, peppers, strawberries, tomatoes & cucumbers plus much more, along with bedding throughout the spring & summer months.
We also have a good trade for fresh free range eggs, which we sell at many of the farmers markets.
William won Tamesides farmers market trader of the year in 2005, which was an honour. The awards are given out as part of the Tameside food & drink festival that are held at Dukinfield Town Hall in September every year.
All our veg is hand pulled, cut & picked less that 24 hours before it is on our market stall.
