: Bowl of Beauty

Once again our Peony Harvest has come to an end. The weather gods were kind, but trying at times, we reached 34 degrees one day and then a couple of days later there was snow on the mountain and we woke to a slight frost. But overall it has been another successful season, picking up new markets in Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane.

Welcome

This year I was awarded the prestigious 2012 Nuffield Scholarship sponsored by Impact Fertilisers and the Tasmanian Government. I would like to investigate white asparagus production for the gourmet market and am hoping to visit Germany to learn more about production techniques, as it is a large producer and consumer of white asparagus.

I have set up this blog to document my journey as a Nuffield Scholar, and also to write about what’s happening on Weston Farm, a small family business which I run with my wife Belinda. We specialise in Peony roses, Extra Virgin Olive Oil and fresh farm produce.
