Hi everyone - welcome back! We have been blessed with the most fantastic weather this summer; going into Autumn and everything is growing at an alarming rate - even the sloes are ripe already!

Sandy moved back to her woodland
home |
Our students are all pleased to be back, and one of the first jobs we did was to move Sandy back up to the woodland - she is very happy to be back near / although not with her off spring. We sold 6 of the weaners in the Summer holidays, and the six we have left are really thriving. We have two gilts and 4 boars left.
The hens and ducks we bought in over the holidays look great - hens laying already, but sadly not the ducks yet - although they love their new surroundings especially the pond.

new home |
We have had lots of produce available during the summer, runner beans, purple and yellow french beans, swiss chard, spinach and now leeks. Unfortunately our sweet corn was supposed to be picked as 'baby' sweet corn (we only just found the label) so the pigs and hens have been enjoying them!

Feeding the ewes - this one
loves apples! |
We are checking the lambs regularly, as we will have at least 4 hopefully ready to go off within the next couple of weeks. We are hoping to sell some to the local pub....watch this space!
