Spring is coming

In my walks on the farm over the last week there are so many signs of Spring being just around the corner - the trees are starting to bud with leaves, we have two brave dafodils out on the drive and I found one equally brave primrose brightening up the wood. It is such a time of renewal and it is great to be so close to nature at this time of year.

All quiet on the farm

Well all is quiet on the farm, we are waiting for everything to start to grow. We have been planning our farm walks for 2009 - more details later in the year and the days are really starting to extend now. Spring is coming!!

New Year dawns

A New Year dawns for us and we hope for better things with the weather this year. The farm looks beautiful in the frost. I have taken some photos and will post soon.

Winter solstice

The shortest day has been and gone and the colours in the sky were quite amazing over the Frome Valley.

December photos

The farm still looks beautiful although a little stark. Here are some pics.

Open Farm Sunday

We had such an incredible time on Open Farm Sunday back in June, over nine months ago now and I was asked by LEAF to put a video together about the day. This is our video of how we prepared and undertook the farm walk. We are blessed to live is such a beautiful part of the world and the video shows some of our hidden corners on the farm. Open Farm Sunday is all about explaining what you do on your farm, how food is produced and the different jobs that are done in the cycle of producing food each year. The conversation points are endless.

Every farm is different some are huge multi-million pound farming businesses, others smallholdings that are managed before and after work and at the weekends and many other farms are family farms. This is what makes our landscape so unique and special.
