-The Nantlle Valley's fertile soil

-is perfect for growing vegetables.

-But very few people do that.

-Bethan and I

-are determined to change things.

-We want to see

-the local people growing!

-Penygroes is the focal point

-of the Nantlle Valley.

-In the early 20th century,

-there were more than 90 shops here.

-Today, there are only two grocery

-shops, very little fresh produce...

-..not to mention local produce.

-Peas from Guatemala.

-The prices reflect that.

-How much? 2.00?!

-This series aims to encourage

-people to grow their own vegetables.

-His radishes are up.

-Look!

-It won't be easy.

-It won't be easy.

-

-I want to cry.

-Is it that bad?

-We're here to grow vegetables.

-If he wants an apple tree,

-he can have an apple tree!

-If our growers have a surplus,

-we intend to open a shop...

-Excuse me, madam!

-..to sell

-local fruit and vegetables...

-That's show quality!

-..at affordable prices.

-Does anyone want to grow vegetables?

-But are the people

-of the Nantlle Valley ready to grow?

-We're looking

-for someone to grow vegetables.

-Potatoes, carrots...

-The big day has arrived.

-We're opening the shop

-and want to attract customers.

-We're selling all sorts

-of fresh locally grown vegetables.

-We're only open today.

-We're only open today.

-

-I'll call later.

-You'd have been fine

-if you'd come 50 years ago!

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-Ta-ra!

-Ta-ra.

-We have to clean the place

-before we open.

-At least we've got scales.

-No wonder the hoover doesn't work.

-We don't have any vegetables yet.

-That sounds more like a shredder.

-Skip.

-I wonder if people

-will come to swap vegetables?

-We'd better stock up

-with vegetables.

-Margaret Elis has plenty of

-vegetables, so we'll see her first.

-We don't have

-vegetables for the shop yet.

-We're hoping

-you have enough to share!

-There's some left.

-There's enough potatoes

-to open a chip shop.

-And wonderful kale.

-And wonderful kale.

-

-It's purple kale.

-There's a green one underneath.

-You can bring potatoes,

-purple kale and green kale.

-And carrots.

-And carrots.

-

-Your carrots are fantastic.

-The leaves look good.

-These stalks are strong.

-If the stalks are this sturdy...

-..the root is bound to be pumping

-plenty of nourishment.

-Look.

-That's a whopper.

-Look at the colour.

-There will be a stampede

-to buy these.

-The parsnips are just as good.

-They'll be quite big

-if the stalks are chunky.

-Parsnips and carrots

-will be fine in the soil...

-..until the cold weather comes.

-Just scatter hay on them

-to protect them from frost.

-You want to eat them yourself.

-Winter is coming.

-Make sure you look after yourself.

-I'll share some of them.

-You can show people

-what they're missing.

-They might grow vegetables

-themselves.

-Have you got muscles?

-Have you got muscles?

-

-It's heavy!

-People have arrived. Come in.

-It's shaping up in the shop.

-Our first suppliers have arrived.

-Mark Burr of HenKind in Nebo

-rescues mistreated hens.

-They've started to sell eggs.

-We've invited local people

-to buy, sell and swap their produce.

-Look.

-As well as eggs, we've had cabbage,

-carrots, onions and kohlrabi...

-..from a local farmer who grows

-and sells vegetables all year long.

-Iwan from Pant Glas

-brought chutneys and jams.

-Sali from Talysarn supplied

-samples of her cakes, fair play!

-The courgette and walnut cake

-is tasty.

-Right, Russ. What are you eating?

-It's nice.

-Sali made the cakes. Chocolate

-and beetroot sounds interesting.

-There isn't a sample

-of her chocolate and beetroot cake.

-Here's some courgette

-and walnut cake.

-They're meant for the customers

-but I'm sure you can taste one.

-We'll have to close the shop

-if I collapse!

-We haven't opened and

-we're already eating the produce!

-We'd better carry on with the work.

-Hey!

-Hey!

-

-Russell.

-You've brought a helper along.

-Craig and Ynyr arrive

-to help us out.

-Craig is

-the B3 project coordinator.

-He's responsible for encouraging

-local people to eat healthily.

-Supermarkets have the monopoly.

-They are running everything.

-We need to take more responsibility

-for what we eat and grow.

-Something has to change.

-Since 2008, things have changed.

-Prices are going up 10% every year.

-That's more than our wages.

-We see more people

-going to food banks.

-Do we carry on going

-down that road...

-..or take more responsibility...

-..for what we eat

-and what we choose to buy.

-Why do men just stand

-around talking?

-Supermarkets have

-an efficient system.

-What they've done is good.

-But they focus on profit...

-..and nothing else...

-..not people's health and

-how best to serve the communities.

-If we could persuade them

-to change their attitudes...

-..and adapt the system

-that's already in place...

-..it would really help us.

-Look who's here!

-Come in, sir.

-One of our producers.

-There's not a lot left.

-It's a good sign, and proves how

-much you enjoyed the vegetables.

-Are you coming back later?

-Are you coming back later?

-

-We'll both come later.

-Thank you.

-He could have helped us clean.

-Debbie and Eifion

-started growing a few months ago.

-It's great to receive a box

-of their home-grown vegetables.

-The couple persevered.

-Our last visit to their garden

-was a revelation.

-It looks neat.

-The flowers are lovely.

-You can't eat them.

-But they're pretty.

-Caterpillars ravaged the cabbages.

-The centre is fine.

-That's why I kept them in.

-Have you had a lot of vegetables?

-Have you had a lot of vegetables?

-

-Yes!

-We've had plenty of potatoes,

-broccoli, peas and beans.

-Nothing was growing here

-in early spring.

-Just look at the place by October!

-What are your plans over the winter?

-I was going to ask you.

-We don't know what to do.

-It's quieter during the winter.

-Cabbages can withstand cold weather.

-They'll be fine until the winter.

-For your first attempt,

-the Brussels sprouts are fantastic.

-They're better

-than my first attempt.

-Don't depend on the carrots

-to feed you this winter.

-What was the problem

-with the carrots?

-They're too close to each other.

-You should have weeded

-the smaller ones...

-..for the strongest to get more sun.

-It's good that

-it happened this time.

-We learn from our mistakes.

-You won't do it next year.

-We have to mention

-the plastic shack.

-Eifion did

-a good job of finishing it.

-I hope he'll get great vegetables

-from this, too.

-You'll get more from the shack

-than the three beds in a year.

-You'll find it difficult

-to fill the three beds without it.

-You can come here in January...

-..to plant your seeds

-and nurture young plants.

-When it's warm enough

-you can bring them out here...

-..and grow cucumbers, tomatoes

-to prolong the season of the shack!

-How happy are you,

-on a scale of one to ten?

-Twelve.

-Twelve.

-

-Well done.

-I didn't make that up.

-It's transformed

-the way we use the garden.

-We're considering extending

-the vegetable patch next year.

-We've done so well

-that we want more.

-One satisfied customer.

-I hope more people like Debbie

-visit our shop.

-Are we ready?

-Are we ready?

-

-It's not quite time.

-I may as well open.

-We're officially open

-to start selling!

-Open the door.

-But will we get customers?

-The Tyfu Pobl shop

-is open and ready for business.

-The big spenders have arrived.

-Will there be anything left

-for the other customers?

-Is this all you've got?

-There's more in the back.

-There's more in the back.

-

-We'll go to the back then!

-What's this?

-What's this?

-

-Kohlrabi, from Germany.

-Not this one.

-It's a type of cabbage.

-We eat the stalks

-rather than the leaves.

-We eat the flower of the

-cauliflower, the leaves of cabbage.

-This is the stalk.

-It's lovely in coleslaws and salads.

-You can boil it, if you want.

-And steam it.

-Yes, that's it.

-Have you got potatoes?

-They're worth seeing.

-They're worth seeing.

-

-I'll take some.

-One?

-Don't panic.

-She hasn't finished yet.

-Have you tried spinach?

-I know what spinach is!

-Watch out or I may grab you!

-How much is it?

-How much is it?

-

-1.10.

-Customers!

-Our vegetables are disappearing!

-Have you seen our onions?

-How much do you want to pay?

-How much do you want to pay?

-

-I don't mind.

-Forty pence.

-What do you fancy?

-Do you like beetroot?

-How much is the rhubarb?

-How about one pound for the lot?

-I was going to suggest that a large

-person should get a large stalk!

-Just tell me how much!

-Just tell me how much!

-

-I'd say 30 pence a stalk.

-Thank you. Ta-ra!

-Thank you. Ta-ra!

-

-Call back some other day.

-3.25.

-3.50.

-2.30.

-Ta-ra.

-She forgot her shopping!

-Go after her!

-Did you pay for it?

-I thought so!

-We've sold three quarters of

-the stock in just over three hours.

-There's a while to go yet.

-Three quarters of an hour.

-I'm worried that Justin hasn't

-appeared. There are more coming.

-The last time we were in his garden,

-things weren't looking too good.

-Can you give me

-a hand to pick a carrot?

-Mean! Shall I slap him?

-That's the best thread

-I've seen this year.

-There are good ones here.

-There are good ones here.

-

-Why are these here?

-Craig?!

-We weeded and

-Craig told me to leave these.

-If you leave these here...

-..you'll

-attract the carrot's great enemy.

-Once carrot flies come,

-you'll never get rid of them.

-I don't agree.

-I believe in permaculture.

-You could plant these back

-but compost them first...

-..to get rid of the smell.

-Shame about those.

-But look at these!

-There's a good one there!

-The parsnips look healthy,

-fair play.

-But what happened to the radishes?

-But what happened to the radishes?

-

-I ate them every night.

-There were still loads left

-and I got sick of them!

-They turned hard

-and I threw them away.

-I'd have bought them.

-This is what I want to see.

-How did you get your cabbages

-to look like net curtains?

-I reckon you had

-too much faith in the mesh.

-Remember to use a fleece next year.

-Why didn't you tell me?

-I did! People don't listen to me.

-You have enough for yourself and

-you don't want to give us anything.

-Can we have something for the shop?

-That sounds

-as if I don't want to share!

-You can share your holes with them.

-I've eaten a lot of stuff.

-I want to keep

-what's left for the winter.

-Give us one of these.

-Give us one of these.

-

-Don't come empty-handed.

-These are works of art,

-so they're more valuable.

-I wouldn't buy them.

-Caterpillars ate Justin's cabbages.

-But he didn't come empty-handed.

-What has he brought to swap?

-Do you remember

-I said I didn't have anything?

-Look what I found!

-Yeah! Justin is buying something.

-Justin didn't swap any vegetables.

-But he bought eggs

-and local vegetables.

-Debbie and Eifion have plenty

-of vegetables to swap.

-Debbie and Eifion have arrived.

-Debbie and Eifion have arrived.

-

-Hello.

-You're coming to swap.

-To be fair,

-we'll weigh your vegetables.

-You can have the same weight back.

-That's fair enough.

-We've eaten a lot of them.

-You're making the most out of them.

-You're in charge of the scales.

-You're in charge of the scales.

-

-I'll go to Gloria the scales.

-This is a big moment.

-Six ounces.

-We're weighing Debbie and Eifion's

-vegetables.

-They can take vegetables

-of equal weight from the shop.

-Two pounds, eight ounces.

-Are you ready to swap?

-They don't have to spend a penny.

-Carrots.

-Debbie and Eifion took a kohlrabi

-which they didn't try growing.

-Carrots for your cucumbers.

-What else shall we get?

-What else shall we get?

-

-Spinach is good this time of year.

-I'll take a bunch.

-Thank you

-for swapping your vegetables.

-Thanks for all your help.

-We intend to keep up the good work.

-We'll grow different things

-next year.

-Thanks!

-Ta-ra.

-Well done. We can have a breather.

-Most of our vegetables have gone.

-We're closing in five minutes.

-My feet ache. But there's

-one final shopper to deal with.

-You're the last customer!

-Do you want carrots?

-Yes, two.

-Two carrots?

-Like that?

-Yes.

-Don't you want more?

-Don't you want more?

-

-No.

-Kohlrabi is good for you.

-Kohlrabi is good for you.

-

-OK.

-And the last cucumber.

-What's 40 and 75?

-Um... I'm not good at sums.

-It's 1.15.

-Yes.

-Have you got money?

-Have you got money?

-

-No.

-Oh. Go and ask Dad.

-1.15 please.

-Dad! Can I have 1.15?

-You want change?!

-You can have them for a pound.

-Yeah!

-Bargain.

-What do you think of the year?

-What do you think of the year?

-

-It's been interesting.

-Have you learnt something

-about growing vegetables?

-I already knew everything.

-I wonder if anyone

-will turn up tomorrow?

-Many asked if we'll open again

-next week.

-We've shown

-what it's possible to do.

-It's been nice to see

-people's vegetables growing.

-Flowering.

-Flowering.

-

-Bearing fruit!

-I've really enjoyed it,

-but I've never felt so tired!

-Don't complain.

-You don't have to ride that bike!

-Let's go home.

-Ta-ta, Gloria.

-CLOSED

-I feel ill.
