Growing a greener world

The art and science or organic gardening

Hello!

This is Ewan's site. Large or small gardens are our opportunity to create something productive, beautiful and beneficial to nature. But how? We unpack the folklore, facts and anecdotes to understand what works, how it does it, and how it might be applied to different situations.

What we cover

If it's used in organic gardening then we're interested in it! Some areas we're actively looking at include: companion planting, crop rotation, compost making, sustainability (especially ghost acreage) and seed saving. We don't talk much about pesticides, herbicides and the impact that they have. We'd rather make the positive case for an organic - sustainable approach - but we do touch on it from time to time when it's unavoidable, such as when discussing seed coatings on cover crops.

We sell green and roasted coffee beans that are sourced directly from independent farmers and farm cooperatives. We’re proud to offer a variety of coffee beans grown with great care for the environment and local communities. Check our post or contact us directly for current availability.

We offer a small, but carefully curated selection of brewing gear and tools for every taste and experience level. No matter if you roast your own beans or just bought your first french press, you’ll find a gadget to fall in love with in our shop.

Our values

Coffee is an amazing part of human culture but it has a dark side too – one of colonialism and mindless abuse of natural resources and human lives. We want to turn this around and return the coffee trade to the drink’s exhilarating, empowering and unifying nature.
