Beginings
I think we sold one bottle of worm tea and a tomato plant that day.
However, the person we sold the worm tea to has since come back for worms and more tea. And hopefully her plants are enjoying the benefits! - Thank you Carolyn!
Our very first stall back in April 2025.
We started VERY small - our first stall was at a local car boot sale. All we took was a few plants, about 10 bottles of "worm tea" and a printed sign with our logo on it.
We took the kids along for morale support. Now they're a big part of what we do. They helpwith all our ventures, from watering plants, to taking care of our worms.
We even upgraded the size of our bottles for worm tea, all the labels became weatherproof (learnt that lesson!) and the bags for our biochar went from 100g to 450g!
We slowly improved out bottles, labels and banners to try and stand out a bit more.
We trialled the setup at a local plant fair and seemed to attract a bit more attention.
We became regulars at Erwood carboot sale and Bethel Indoor Market in Llanidloes (where we even have an unmanned stall!!)
We then took the leap to become part of a big agricultural show in Brecon - and needed a shelter. So the next step was our new Gazebo!
Through all our markets, shows and other venues - we've made a lot of friends and a lot of connections along the way....
Some mentions are: Bwthyn Blooms, Hay Regenerative Soils, Wye Valley Flowers, BlackBird Charcoal, Huw (the mushroom guy at hay markets), Bethel Indoor Market crew, Emily at Hay Markets, Sam at Black mountain college, and especially our collaboration with On The Verge and Martin Draper.
Keep an eye out for our stall if you're ever in powys.
Pop by and say hello, have a chat about worms, soil, plants and find out why we all need them!
Thank you to everyone that has supported us and helped us to grow! - Jess, Jay & the rest of the Family......
We've made some amazing friends and connections - took some big risks and had fantastic support and conversations with like minded people.
A lot has changed since we thought of taking the plunge in January and hopefully this isnt just the start of something new for us but something that continues to grow with us.
