Slade Farm Organics

Slade Farm Organics We are a family farm in south Wales. Slade Farm has been tenanted by the Davies family since 1976.

Slade Farm Organics nestles on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast – an area of outstanding beauty – supplying the finest selection of Organic Welsh Beef, Lamb and Pork. The animals are reared organically with the utmost care to promote a degree of excellence not possible with mass production farming. Peter and Rosamund Davies converted the farm to Organic production in 2000 and the wildlife benefit has been substantial resulting in the winning of both Environmental and Taste awards.

🧄 From tiny winter sets to a literal mountain of summer garlic!

Our massive allium harvest is officially underway at the market garden. Planted back in November with help from local students, these beauties weathered the winter and are finally out of the ground thanks to our amazing volunteers this week.

Right now, the garden smells incredible as they cure in the sun!

🌱 Quick Grower's Tip:
We multi-sow our onions in tight pairs (20cm apart in rows, 25cm between rows). They naturally push apart as they grow, making weeding so much easier. Garlic gets a cozy 15cm grid.

Keep an eye out—these stunners will be hitting our veg bags very soon!

All welcome!!

The first batch of swallows has officially fledged! Every year, we are lucky to host these little travellers returning from Africa to nest in our traditional stone buildings. It’s been a season of constant activity, and it’s lovely to see this new generation taking flight. With multiple broods expected, there is plenty more to come.

Meanwhile, back in the polytunnel, our Welsh Collie, Sev, has been keeping us company while we plant our second succession of cucumbers.

We usually stagger our plantings to stay ahead of pest pressure, but the weather had other plans this year - strong winds tore through our landscape fabric, unfortunately taking out the first batch. Thankfully, the backups were on standby and are now safely in the ground!

For those keen on growing your own cucumbers:

Spacing: We maintain 30cm between plants.

Establishment: We remove all cucumbers below knee height to allow the plant to focus its energy on building a strong root system and structure.

Training: Much like our tomatoes, we prune all side shoots to keep the plant vertical and manageable.

Rain or shine, the planting doesn't stop! 🌤 Last week we were getting more sweetcorn into the ground.

Swipe through the gallery to see the process:
1️⃣ Broadforking: Loosening up the soil (and getting a great workout) before a quick rake over.
2️⃣ Dibbing: Poking out the perfect grid of holes.
3️⃣ Planting: Tucking the young sweetcorn plants into bed.

Fun fact: Sweetcorn is actually wind-pollinated. To make sure every cob gets fully pollinated and packed with kernels, you want to plant them in tight blocks rather than straight lines. We squeeze ours together at a 20cm spacing—any closer and they'd compete for room, but this is the sweet spot!

The herb garden is blooming, buzzing, and rocketing!

The chives and sage are in full flower, the bees are humming up a storm, and the fennel is officially winning the height competition against our grower Jenny!

Summer energy is definitely arriving on the farm.

🌱 GROWER'S NOTES (Save this for later!):
Want to recreate this busy bee haven at home? Here is how we spaced these hardy perennials to let them thrive:

Sage: Give it room! We space ours about 45cm apart so it can bush out into a permanent, woody perennial shrub.

Chives: Plant in clumps about 20–25cm apart. They’ll die back in winter and burst right back with these gorgeous edible purple heads every spring.

Herb Fennel: Plant it at the back of the border (about 50cm spacing). It shoots up like a rocket and will easily touch 5–6 feet tall by summer!
