It feels like ages since we last sent an update, even though it's only been a few weeks, but boy what a few weeks they've been! We've felt the real shift in to autumn as the weather has cooled and the leaves are changing.
Read MoreWow, what a summer that has been … managing the school holidays childcare, motoring through harvest, launching a new business, and keeping everything alive (including ourselves 😂)! But we've done it and we can now take stock, breath, and get ourselves organised again. We hope summer has been a great one for you all and you've managed to enjoy the glorious weather.

The weather has been a big focus for us this month (when is it not I hear you cry … and that's a very fair point!). The consistent dry weather has been gorgeous to enjoy.

Not that we're complaining of course, it's just the usual chaos over here … livestock work, new ventures (yes you heard that right, and can learn a little more below!), website developments, hay making, sheep shearing, machinery maintenance, all with a little sprinkling of COVID (yep, after 2 ½ years it eventually got us!).

Just over 50 visitors came to the farm and enjoyed a 3 mile walk learning more about our farming methods, with particular focus on our move to Regenerative Agriculture. We petted some lambs, wandered amongst the cattle, admired our wild bird seed mixes and wild flower meadows, and were lucky enough to see the curlew who have been nesting in our meadows. It was so lovely to share our little corner of Oxfordshire with our customers and neighbours. Thank you to those who came.
