There’s nothing we like more at AutoPot than a bit of customer interaction, so we were really looking forward to this year’s open day at the end of August. Luckily, the sun was shining and we enjoyed two great days in the late summer warmth chatting with our retailers and distributors from both the UK and overseas.
As we’ve been growing Thai herbs at the farm this year, we were also joined by members of the local Thai community who’ve been purchasing our AutoPot grown produce through UK Thai Herbs Ltd. This meant we were treated to some excellent, authentic Thai cuisine, alongside some delicious hog roast and a free bar (thanks to Darren and Graham from HydroHub)… it’s no wonder we enjoyed such a great turnout.
The open day provided a great opportunity for our retailers to bring their staff, and a few lucky customers, to see a working commercial nursery in action. As well as participating in various Q+A sessions throughout the day, the attendees also got the opportunity to chat with representatives from the nutrient and media companies who have supported this years’ trials… all while sampling the food and drink on offer and relaxing in the Oxfordshire sunshine!
