Growing Well at Tebay Services is a 1.4-acre kitchen garden in the grounds of the northbound motorway services on the M6 near Shap in Cumbria.
Growing Well at Tebay Services opened to its first beneficiaries in January 2023 and is already making a difference to people’s lives in Eden and North Cumbria.
The site is a partnership project with services owners Westmorland Ltd, who have provided a rent-free site, funded the site build and horticultural and other infrastructure, and purchased all the produce we grow here for their Farm Shops and Kitchens.
Growing Well at Tebay Services supplies freshly picked salad and other vegetables to Westmorland Ltd’s businesses where they are prepared, cooked and served to services customers every day, just a few hundred metres from where they are grown.
The site, a former static caravan park in a beautiful and secluded area at the southern end of the northbound services, has been developed from scratch. Due to the hardstanding nature of the site, there is no growing in open ground – it’s all in polytunnels and raised beds.
The site was prepared with help from Tebay Services staff. The polytunnels and raised beds were built by our team of staff and our first beneficiaries, and the refurbished modular social space and offices have been fitted out and kitted out by our team.
