I have been growing organic fruit and vegetables for over 15 years including working on farms in Spain, three vegetable box schemes and managing an English organic vineyard.

I was vegetable production manager at Abbey Farm Organics for over six years.  Abbey Farm Organics produced and delivered boxes of vegetables within West Norfolk and had a regular stall on the Kings Lynn Friday Market. 

I set up The Garden Farmer with the aim of helping people in West Norfolk to grow their own. I also contribute my skills in an unpaid voluntary capacity to Transition Kings Lynn, and have trained to be a voluntary Master Composter for the Norfolk County Council.

Previous jobs include Youth Hostel warden, trolley packer for M&S, Civil Servant and full time conservation volunteer with the BTCV. I have been a campaigner for Cardiff Bay Anti Barrage and Twyford Down Stop the Bypass. I have a Bsc Hons in Energy and Environmental Technology.
