Our weekly veg bag scheme has been running since our Market Garden was established in 2008. The Market Garden where we grow the majority of the produce used is located behind Drapers Mill Primary School in Margate, in 2008 this site was converted from a derelict and neglected space to a thriving and productive Market Garden with the help of the community.
Chemical free and community grown Veg Bag Scheme
The Windmill Community Gardens Margate, veg bag scheme is supplied with produce grown at our Market Garden which is a one acre site located just behind Drapers Mill School in Margate. Our Market Garden is run by our two growers with the help of volunteers, and participants on work experience. We are a chemical free site and grow to Organic standards – although we are currently not registered as Organic.
We supply the scheme all year round with seasonal produce, there are times of the year (January – April/May) when our supply is lower due to the gap between growing seasons. At this point we include produce grown at other local organic and chemical free farms (we try and source from as local to us as possible).
Every Wednesday we pack the veg bags using reusable paper bags. On Thursday morning we deliver the bags to local collection points around Thanet.
