James speak to Rita and Adam from Pitney Farm Market Garden in Somerset. Rita and Adam are fresh from winning Young Organic Grower of the Year and hopefully our conversation gives you a flavour of why. We talk about their decision to mechanise much of their operation and how this feeds into their goal of year-round production, direct wholesaling and growing as much food as possible while maintaining soil health and providing a livelihood. It’s a very wide-ranging conversation with loads of nuggets and take-aways that I’m sure will give you lots of food for thought, so let’s get to it.
