“I love the idea of growing my own food and using that to make meals for family and friends, and even gifting produce and seeds so others can do it too.”
Another quote from one of our Acorn Farmers from 2025. A lovely reminder of what growing can make possible. 🌱
#AcornFarmNI
With our 2026 Acorn Farmers now getting started, it’s great to reflect on some of the feedback and quotes from our 2025 group. We hope the growing season treats you well, and we can’t wait to hear how things progress.
