There are not many people who will happily meet at 6:30am on a Sunday morning - but Conor and Rose are those kind of people 🌱

They run @aralfarm, a two-acre market garden near Columb Major where they grow vegetables in an organic, sustainable way. Their aim? Replace supermarkets with super market gardens 🥬🥕

Ducks waddled along the bark-chip paths as Conor and Rose showed me polytunnels bursting with sweet-scented tomatoes and perfectly neat rows of spring onions 🍅

They primarily use hand tools to cultivate the land, showing me their no-till method and the resulting seriously top-quality soil ✨

And can you guess what their logo is? Not an onion, not a garlic bulb… A sweet chestnut, fruit from trees on-site that will last for five generations, which is ultimately their hope for Aral Farm 🌳

Most of their produce goes to local restaurants, but you can buy their veggies at @newquayfarmersmarket and @crantockfarmersmarket, among other local Newquay spots, or sign up for their veg box scheme (padron peppers - yes please!) 🤩

Thanks for having me to snap photos, @aralfarm! And showing me how to use a hoe! 💖
