A visit the Shumei Natural Agriculture farm at Yatesbury was bewildering. I thought I knew a fair amount about organic agriculture, but my assumptions about the relationship between growers and crops were turned upside down.

We are Middle Ground Growers, a small ecological farm on 1.5 acres in Bathampton. We are young passionate growers who are determined to change our local food system by producing fresh organically grown and affordable food for all.
