All is calm after Christmas. The farm is quiet in anticipation of lambing. The cows and calves and ewes are brought in from the fields into the barns for over-wintering.We start lambing at the end of February and it lasts for about 5 weeks – join us for a LAMBING WEEKEND – dinner on the house in exchange for your help lambing.
This time of year makes farming all worthwhile
Very busy preparing sheep for the DEVON COUNTY SHOW .
Please may the sun shine long and hard as June and July is a busy time with HAYMAKING and silage making. Everyone turns up to help everyone else – enjoy a well deserved cider at beer at the local pub
Enjoy and take part in SHEEP SHEARING
Time also to enjoy lovely evenings down by the beach, go mackerel fishing at Beer or just walk our lovely lanes for a pint at the pub .
The harvest is in, the lambs are growing fast and we start selling as many as possible. All the lambs have been weaned and October is D Day for the rams – in they go and the cycle starts all over again.
We start to buy in day old chicks, turkeys and geese in preparation for Christmas .
