Season Planner

What the Organization asks for before its AI team starts work.

The holding

Brackenfield Market Garden, Powys. 4 hectares, about 1.2 in active production.

Season

2027. Second full season, first one on our own.

What we grow

Mixed salad, brassicas, roots, squash, soft fruit. Around 30 lines.

Sales channels

Two farmers markets a week May to October, plus a small veg box round.

Labour

Me, full time. My partner about 6 hours a week. No employees.

What went wrong last year

Ran out of time in late May and never caught up. Missed most succession sowings and August was thin.

What we need

To know where the work actually lands and when we need help.

Capacity

I can sustain about 48 hours a week. Beyond that the season stops being worth doing.
