Future of Farming Awards


Today we hosted a visit by the judges for Natural England's award scheme - they seemed very interested in what we have been doing around the farm and the impact we have had on others.


We now wait to see whether we have been successful!

Harvesting our hay


Last Thursday was a great day as we baled up 400 small bales from our orchard and hay field. We are really grateful for all the help from Sophie, Simon, Toby, Paul, Tim, James and Linda. We also had a surprise visit from Erik who had come all the way from Wolverhampton with his grandson and was immediately pressed into service to go to the nearest agricultural merchants to get a replacement chain for the baler!


The day ended for us all around 9pm - exhausted but happy that all the hay was in - we enjoyed a really good drop of Town Crier!
