  • Sheep Shearing

    Today I’m feeling rather as if I’ve been run over by a horse, but perhaps it would be more accurate to say a sheep. Yesterday our neighbour and local Super Hero, Carlos, came round to help us shear the sheep. I say help, but he did all the shearing of course, and our job was more »

  • Grazing

    These pictures were before and after the pigs were run on the field then the land allowed to recover. The quality and diversity is much improved.

  • Permaculture in practice

    Permaculture in practice – Every element should have more than one function 😆😆     These little bundles are looking for new homes. If you can offer one, give us a shout.

  • Love Is ….

    Love is …..    ……. kisses in the sunshine. Meet the lovebirds, and the rest of the team, on one of our summer PDCs.  

  • New piggies!

    Beautiful new pigs, two days old in these photos, enjoying their first exploration of the outside world. And here’s proud Dad, Duroc, looking on from the other side of the fence.

  • Quite rainy

    That’s the art of British understatement by the way. Attaching new electric fence so we could move the pregnant pigs, after their shelter flooded.
