Essex-born author Piper Terrett and her husband Douglas Smith began growing vegetables and keeping chickens in their back garden in Billericay in 2005. Doug had always been green-fingered and Piper became interested in home-grown food while writing the popular Frugal Life blog for MSN.co.uk and publishing her book The Frugal Life: How to spend less and live more.

After Doug won first prize in Billericay in Bloom in 2010 for his veg patch, and attended a course run by salad guru Charles Dowding, he was inspired to take things further. Now based in Hertford, he is setting up his own small-scale loose-leaf salad business, grown along organic lines and locally sold. In this talk, Piper explains their journey from gardeners to small-scale commercial growers.
