Hello everyone, I’m writing this looking out of the window to dark grey skies. The weather is cold and wet. So instead of thinking of salads and eating outside watching the sun go down at the end of the day, I’m thinking of comfort food, warm and satisfying. So rhubarb crumble instead of fool and […]

Lee’s Blog – an update on Milk & Cream deliveries
Cost pressures are causing headaches for us all! I’m sure you don’t need me telling you that costs are currently spiraling out of control. We’re all facing huge rises in vehicle fuel and home energy costs at the minute and things don’t look like they will be changing anytime soon. It may seem a bit […]
The whole summer is ahead of us…
It’s so easy to get over enthusiastic at this time of year in the garden. I/we really have to hold back and not rush to plant young plants and seedlings out. We have had few hard frosts in the early mornings and that’s deadly to young tender shoots. We have, however, had meals outside in […]
little by little…..
I always think I’ve got more time. Why is it?, the days are getting longer but I’m still running out of time to do everything I want to do in the day. I’m on a mission to get more organised because if I’ve made or at least prepped the evening meal in the morning I […]
Who said it was quiet in the country side..!!
I’m sitting in the studio writing this. It’s the only quiet place on the farm at the moment. Quite literally everything is going on. Sheds are being mucked out, chickens are cackling, lambs and calves blaring, pigs grunting, the wind is cold and whistly, forks, spades and rakes are ridging up earth and I swear […]
Keeping healthy and energy levels up on busy days…
March has rushed by here on the farm. Lambing, calving, hedge planting, a bit of construction to repair storm damage and the long awaited new access road is underway. Spring is a busy time for many with the clock change and longer day length energy levels can a little depleted. I know I need to […]
Bursting !!!
Bursting, that’s what I thought as I worked in the garden this week. And not my belt, thankfully! The farm felt still, with no wind, except for the birds “bursting” into their individual songs and the buds on some of the shrubs “bursting” out and seedlings both in the potting shed, poly tunnel and earth […]
Beth’s Blog – we’re all a bit bunged up but the sunshine is on its way !!!
Hello everyone. We’ve had a cold going around the farm this week. It’s bound to happen with people going out and about a bit more and seeing people again. We’re busy lambing and calving so having a cold is a bit of a nuisance. If you have got colds at your house here’s my cold […]
Beth’s Blog – If you want me, I’m in the Potting Shed !!
Already we are seeing a change in the light. It’s much lighter in the morning and evenings. We are well under way with sowing and there are shoots popping up in the potting shed. All types of variety of wonderful veg for you this year. It’s such an exciting time. We’ve had some pretty hard […]
Beth’s Blog – feeling grateful….
It’s been a difficult week in the news. I’m so grateful my boys are safe and living their lives in their chosen university cities. I wanted to feel close to them this week so I have organised a weekly organic veg delivery for each of them. I really can’t understand why I didn’t do it […]
