🌿🐔 Big Changes Underway at Verdigris Market Garden! 🐔🌿

We're transforming our old polytunnel space into a brand new, tricked-out chicken coop and run—and we’re doing it with sustainability in mind! ♻️

Swipe through to see the journey so far:1️⃣ Our very first polytunnel gave out under weather stress…2️⃣ The second didn’t make it through a brutal winter storm.3️⃣ Now, we’re reclaiming the space with a purpose.

We're building the coop structure from reclaimed pallets—pulling materials out of the waste stream to create something beautiful and functional. The old polytunnel frame? That’s now the skeleton of our new poultry yard!

Before construction, we:✅ Pulled up the brick borders from the old in-ground beds✅ Leveled the whole area using our battery cultivator✅ Laid down 6mm black plastic to suppress weeds during the build

This is a step toward more resilient, environmentally conscious farming—and a happier home for our girls! 🐣💚
