What's happening on the farm blog
January 2025
1st January 2025January brings a fresh start to the year on the farm, and although the farm shop and butchery team get a well-deserved break, Ben and farmer Shawn still have animals to tend and care for (looking after livestock is 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!).
December 2024
1st December 2024The diets of our livestock needs to be closely studied to ensure that the pasture fed cattle are receiving the proper nutrition as growth of the grass is at its worst. Hay saved from the spring and summer is at the most valued this time of the year.
November 2024
1st November 2024The start of the winter months brings its challenges on the farm with the reduction of daylight hours meaning that pasture growth is minimal. The cattle and sheep push limits of fences and hedges to find the very best food around.
October 2024
16th September 2024Life in the beehives also slows down as we enter autumn, which gives Andrew our beekeeper, time to carry out vital maintenance on the hives. This is a busy end to an unusually quiet summer for honey production across the farm.
