Five Rod Farm

Market Garden

Cam is 28 and has been living and working in Suffolk for the last 3 years after spending 5 years in London, studying and working in the music business and live events.

He started his growing journey in 2020 during the first lockdown by converting a little garden into a vegetable patch with a couple of raised beds that became a haven for him and his family. The two years following he was fortunate enough to be gifted an allotment in Friston where he was introduced to his ‘Five Rod’ allotment plot.

Allotments are traditionally measured in rods which is an old-fashioned measurement of length, a standard size allotment being 10 rods = 250 sq m.

Cam converted the whole plot to no dig and started providing fresh veggies and cut flowers to friends and family. It wasn’t long before he wanted to expand his growing space and start sharing his produce and the no dig method to the wider community. That’s when the idea for Five Rod Farm sprouted.
