Turn right towards Woodmancote and Scrubditch Farm is approximately 100 yards on the right. The Care Farm is situated down the drive, up the track on the left.
From A417, turn off at Perrotts Brook/Daglingworth, and proceed towards Perrotts Brook. Just before the A435, turn left towards Woodmancote. Go for approximately 1 1/2 miles and Scrubditch Farm is on the right, just past the Bagendon/North Cerney Cross Roads.

SPRING TERM!


The students are back and very excited to be back in their routine.
We are running our Dementia mornings every Tuesday for those living with dementia and their carers, Students Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and a small group from Paternoster School on Fridays.
Pig News!
We have taken delivery of ‘Reggie’ a very handsome Oxford Sandy & Black Boar who has happily moved in with Tigger and Sandy for the next 6 weeks or so.  We are aiming to have piglets arriving towards the end of May over at the new site!
We are hoping that one of our remaining boars will be off to Ireland to be part of a breeding programme over there.  The other one will be going off for bacon & sausages for Easter. 
Sheep News!
Hens not sure.....!
Our ewes came back for scanning the second week of Jan (ok scanning, but a few were ‘empty’, and now they are on the bank again, where we are feeding them ready for lambing at the start of March.  Amazingly ‘Barren-ness Betty’ appears to be pregnant this time – having spent most of last year with Barnaby the ram and nothing….!!(she was barren two years in a row)
bantams happy!

The ducks quite happy with the snow!

20 bantam eggs found in the barn!



Just before Christmas we had a visit from Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown!  He had been trying to visit us for ages, but we couldn't find a time when we were here with students that fitted with his busy schedule.  However, on Fridays now we have 5 children from Paternoster each week - so it was great to be able to show Sir Geoffrey what we do with them each week.  I think he was impressed!  We had great feed back from their teacher which helped!



Our fruit cage not happy after the snow....
