About Glebelands Organic Produce
Glebelands Organic Produce is an organic market garden in Sale. It’s a bit of a hidden gem in Sale and plenty of local residents remain unaware of its existence.
Passerbys might be surprised at what lies at the end of a fairly non-descript pathway just off Glebelands Road. The site is home to three large, permanent polytunnels, a sizable greenhouse and some portable polytunnel structures.
The team grows mostly salad crops throughout the season, which account for nearly half of the business’s income. As they are fast-growing crops, leafy herbs and salads can bring in quite a high income more quickly. The rest of the growing space is taken up by crops such as spring onions, radishes and courgettes to name just a few.
