Peter Richardson

Set up and runs Coleshill Organics, consisting of a box scheme (approx. four hundred veg boxes weekly), farmers markets, on site shop and also supplying local schools and restaurants.

Just under thirty acres of veg, both field scale and walled garden including ten poly-tunnels.

I have a background in agriculture, both arable and livestock, but prefer the “reality” of growing “real” food which people appreciate directly. I also enjoy the tribe that is organic- both technical and social, local and national. I have sat on the Soil Association Farmer and Grower Board for three years. I was drawn to this position mainly out of frustration some years ago that primary production was not being taken as seriously as it should – especially given to the changes that we will inevitably face in the our lives to come.
