Update!
It has been
a very busy few weeks so we couldn’t quite keep you up to date with everything
that is going on. This week we have been focusing on certain things like: a
competition for a new logo, comics, calendar, recipes and a poster to put up in
the Plough to explain how we provide them with vegetables.
Plant Care –
This month, Plant Care have been very busy making a calendar about what type of
fruit we can grow each month. They have also been finding and buying loads of
seeds for the spring time. We also got a few seeds from a very nice lady called
Margret. She gave us some Dwarf beans (Sonesta and Purple Teepee) and some Coriander
seeds.
We are also
collecting horse manure so if you have any please (if you can) donate some to
us. Here is some of the things the Plant Care Team are going to grow: French
Beans, Rhubarb, Lettuce, Strawberries, Broccoli and Apples.
Accounts
Manager and Spokesperson – This month, the Accounts Manager and Spokesperson
worked together to make an amazing poster for the Plough in Wangford. They did
this so that the customers eating at the Plough will know exactly where the
fruit and vegetables come from.
Groundsperson
– The Groundsperson is doing a very important job. Right now, as we speak, he
is looking for a space to lay down some new beds.
Marketing –
The Marketing Team are making a new comic for you all to enjoy. The comic they
are making will include word-processed pictures and a creative story.
Packaging
and Despatch – These past weeks, the Packaging and Despatch want to become
eco-friendly! We are going to try to make our own packaging more recyclable and
we are also going to buy eco-friendly slug tape. This is very big to us as we
have never done anything like this before.
Finance- The
finance team have been working very hard trying to get our name out there by
making some professional business cards. They have also been making some PowerPoints
to show the 2016-2019 data for our crops. This will help us sort out how much
money we make and what crops we should be growing in 2020.
Public
Relations- They are working out the distance between supermarkets and if people
feel they travel too many miles to the supermarkets then we could potentially
make our own shop.
That’s it
for this update, we will fill you in with the latest news as soon as we get
some. If you would like to contact us then our email is below.
