Coed Organic is a market garden on the edge of St Hilary, near Cowbridge, South Wales.
Our growing project began in 2007, initially called Riverside Market Garden. From the very beginning we operated a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) model, and became Soil Association certified organic.
In 2018 we restructured, and became Coed Organic, a Workers' Co-operative.
We currently have around 75 CSA members, who we supply with a veg bag for around 38 weeks of the year, usually fortnightly from January until May, then weekly from June until December. We also sell our vegetables at Riverside Farmers Market in Cardiff, on Sundays from June until December. In addition to this, we supply vegetables to Cardiff's socially conscious, vegan cafe 'Wild Thing'.
We grow on around 6.5 acres, with approximately 400m2 of polytunnel space. Our land is rented from the adjacent Coed Hills Rural Artspace.
We practice stock-free organic growing, primarily using green manures for our fertility.
