Three years of sales data now sit behind the retail partnerships of Potager Farm, the vertical farming venture backed by Greenman OPEN, and a pattern has emerged that repeats with striking consistency: demand dips every summer, right around the school holidays, before climbing back through autumn and building toward a stronger spring.

Real estate behaves differently from shares or bonds. It generates returns differently, moves to different rhythms, and requires a different mindset. This article explains what that means in practical terms, so investors can make better informed decisions.
