Borage Contracts 2024

Grew it 20 years ago with a degree of success and want to try revisit it to replace OSR. Cannot grow another pulse crop in the rotation as we grow vining peas.

I don't know much about anything, but I do know you have to like borage because you get volenteers for years to come.

Mum still gets it coming up in her garden where I used to empty my boots out 10 years ago when I lived at home!!! 😂

There’s other non legume crops Borage can be a nuisance volunteer especially in other broad leaf crops, Echium although related isn’t quite as bad,Ahi flower similar oil profile but doesn’t need swathing

Which companies are offering Borage contracts for Spring 2024? Any to steer clear of ?

Phillip Clayton is the owner and has a wealth of knowledge growing Borage for the last 20 years. We have a good market and are looking for new growers. Our contracts will be coming out 8th December.
