Our Story
CROESO!
We, Rita and Will of Hooma Hu admire and respect nature, we have pursued sustainable living and food production as a lifestyle and career.
Our ethos centers around sustainable agriculture, local food production, and environmentally conscious delivery services aimed at reducing ecological impact.
We focus on growing and delivering fresh, local vegetables using sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
We prioritize working with natural processes to nurture the soil and biodiversity, indicating strong environmental ethics. Our growing system emphasizes no chemicals or pesticides, and we use a "No Dig System" which works with nature to increase biodiversity and reduce soil erosion. This approach reflects a commitment to sustainable farming practices by enhancing natural ecosystems rather than relying on conventional intensive farming methods.
We have 2.5 acres of gentle sloping land in Golden Grove, Carmarthenshire which is split in to two parcels, the lower field and the top field. We have two polytunnels to help us extend our growing season and have just been granted planning permission (October 2025) to build a vegetable packing shed on our land which will be powered by PV panels, this system will also power our borehole.
Volunteer days
An opportunity to get people together, learning and sharing skills. These interactions can be beneficial for mental health and offer insights and education, plus people get to visit and see where their food comes from. We for one love to engage with our Hooma-Hu community and welcome their enthusiasm!
We would love to see you here on the land and welcome you to come and meet us and get stuck in at our volunteer days.
Whether it's because you want to learn about food production or feel you have skills you would like to share or need time in nature you are very welcome and your help is very much appreciated.
Educational trips are very much welcome, so if your a local school or group wanting to learn about sustainable food production give us a shout, we will be happy to accommodate you.
Low Carbon Footprint and Diversifaction
We believe it is important to minimise our carbon emissions, to create a project not reliant on fossil fuels and one that does not contribute as much to climate change. We....
. Grow efficiently on a small scale with minimal use of powered machinery
. Keep imported veg to a minimum
. Reduce transport by selling only locally
. Buy mainly local, working with other small business
A space can be used for much more than one thing, as well as growing Veg and Fruit on the Hooma-Hu plot we want to see the space used for:
. Educational workshops
. Food prep courses
. Continued creation and maintenance of wildlife corridors and habitats
Next Goals
. Build a barn for: tool storage/repair, produce storage, poultry and bee keeping equipment.
. Wildlife pond/irrigation area
. Plant an orchard which includes local heritage varieties.
We really hope you enjoy cooking with and eating the veg we produce and that you can taste the difference! It's our honour to extend our table out into the local community and provide fresh, local, healthy produce for you all to enjoy!
Diolch for all your support,
Cariad Mawr, Rita, Will and Luna
