Shwmae all, We hope you are all safe and sound after storm Isha.
We are Will and Rita, partners in love and work, parents to our wonderful 5 year old Luna Nettie. We are vegetable growers and run a small veg box delivery buisness in beutiful Gelli Aur, South West Wales providing weekly deliveries to over 40 local households. We use a No Dig System with Organic principles. We have great respect for the land and see our positions as more of a lifestyle than a job, we live a humble life on a low wage in a self built horsebox home. We run a volunteer day every Tuesday and offer open access of our land for volunteers to enjoy access to the countryside. We work with a Social Farms and Gardens project to bring naturally grown food into local schools.
Our fields took a battering during storm Isha, the storm chewed up and spat out our 7 meter by 30 meter polytunnel which was underconstruction and almost finished.
We along with constructers and volunteers had been working hard on errecting it and skinning two polytunnels since last year. Alot of energy, time and money has been spent so we are understandably devastated by the impact of this storm. The small 2nd tunnel was luckily unaffected but the 1st tunnel which was mid construction is unusable and will need to be replaced.
With your donations we wish to purchase a new polytunnel as soon as possible as to affect the food production as little as possible. This tunnel was to also be used as part of the Social Farms and Gardens project to bring naturally grown food into schools.
Breakdown of costs- Tunnel frame, skin, timber, attachments and concrete. £6,050
Diolch yn fawr, Rita and Will @ Hooma Hu Veg Box Delivery
