 From the farm...

Our cattle have now moved to the South side at Maidencombe for their final grazing

The Maran chickens have left their chicken shed and are now free-roaming the orchard with the light sussex hens. The welsummer hens live just behind the farmyard but frequently enjoy hopping over the fence to explore the rest of the farm!

We have split the wethers up from the lambs, so that the wethers can be fattened up. Also, our pigs have recently moved home, to the field next to our orchard at Occombe.

FEEDING TIME

Feeding time has now finished for the Winter - join us again next Spring for our morning rounds as we feed the animals
