Neil Marshall, Debby Marshall, Chris Hart, Jane Attfield, Tony Bennett - 'Growing with Grace' is a social enterprise run as a co-operative (an employee-owned business).
We were established on four principles:
Sustainable agriculture:
Centred on two acres of greenhouses, at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this unique operation is a valuable organic production resource. Based on an ethos of 'local food for local people', the greenhouses help fill the hungry-gap by extending the growing season. The Organic Shop and home-delivery bag scheme supply a range of organic vegetables, fruit and dry goods.
Equitable employment:
By combining shared ownership, shared decision-making and salaries based on need, this co-operative provides equitable employment.
Workplace spirituality:
The co-operative seeks to provide a working environment that respects the individual, be they a member or customer. Spirituality in the workplace recognises 'that of God' in each person in a caring environment of mutual respect.
Fairtrade:
We aim to promote the sale of fairly traded imported goods in our Organic Shop in order to support farmers and growers in developing countries.

The proprietor has been a herb-grower for over 20 years, growing about 100 different varieties, and marketing them locally. In 2000 they started an organic seed business, and now are mainly involved in growing for seed, although still growing specimen herb plants. Their land has organic certification for seed-processing and is also also certified for organic seed-crop production. They sell at trade shows and by mail order, all main vegetable seed, but specialising in bean and herb seed. 'Beans and herbs' joined VON a year ago and are now changing their growing methods to stockfree. Very few seed varieties have been vegan-organically produced till now.



Oakcroft Organic Gardens
Oakcroft, Cross 'O' The Hill, Malpas, Cheshire, SY148DH
t: 01948 860213
w: www.oakcroft.org.uk/

Tim Carey, a former student at the Welsh College of Horticulture, has become the latest UK grower to be awarded Stockfree Organic Certification. With co-worker Lloyd English, he is bringing Oakcroft Organic Gardens, one of the UK’s longest-standing organic market gardens, back into production. He plans to grow vegetables, salads, herbs, fruit and flowers for sale in the Malpas area of South Cheshire, with a view to possibly setting up a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project in the future. Their plans include the widespread use of green manures, experimentation with no-dig methods and bulk compost production. A feature of the garden is two greenhouses on rails which enable early crops to be started under cover and then ‘put out’ by moving the greenhouses.
