Deal With It, the local green community group, launched Deal Hop Farm – a community hop-growing project – in January this year. Now the voluntary group has grown to a farm of 130 sites in peoples’ gardens, allotments and community spaces, including English Heritage’s kitchen garden at Walmer Castle.
