Solar Powered Irrigation in Sunny Suffolk, UK

POSTED ON June 15th, 2022 Freya Herman

Our week got off to a great start seeing Applewood Acres Farm share a video chatting through their Futurepump SF2 solar pump and how, in just a week, it is already changing how they can irrigate their farm in Suffolk, UK for the better!

“It is fantastic, it has been life-changing for our farm… It is just a genius bit of kit!

It saves us a lot of hassle, as before we were using an old electric pump, with this, you can set it up anywhere… It has saved a lot of time, and any way you can save time on a field is brilliant, I would say 10 out of 10.

If you’ve got a large field, a small field, an allotment, a market garden, small farm, homestead, whatever it might be, this is a must have.”

Jo and Dave

Jo and Dave are growing microgreens, baby leaf salad, and edible flowers on their 3 acre market garden. They are using their SF2 solar pump with a water tank, collecting rainwater, and sprinklers that they can easily move around their farm.
