Hello, we are Jenny Hall and Keith Griggs, otherwise known as Sow and Grow Organics.
We are a local organic vegetable box scheme that sells within 3 miles of the farm in the villages of Billinge and Orrell, in between Wigan and St Helens. See where we are.
We aim to be a national demonstration of low-carbon farming through growing green manures like clover.
Jenny is an accomplished writer and has produced “Growing Green” (aimed at organic vegetable enterprises) and “Organic Alice”, a series of children’s books (pre-school and Key Stage 1) about how organic farming works. She is in the process of writing a book for gardeners and allotment holders and is considered a leading expert in community food growing.
Keith has been in farming all his life and has supported many entrants into organic farming with buying and maintaining machinery.
We have a young daughter Alice who keeps us on our toes and is already a keen vegetable grower.
