Bees, BBQs and Butterflies

What a scorcher July has been! It has been another busy month at the farm with lots of weddings taking place in the tipi! The bees have finally arrived and are settling in well. They have already been busy collecting nectar from the vegetable beds and we are all looking forward to trying some of their honey next year! We have welcomed some new additions to the farm today who are yet to be named. As most of you know we always end up giving them very unique names and we are sure pulling their names out of the hat…

Lamb Spam!

March means lambing at the farm and this year has been especially busy with lots of lambs arriving! This year we welcomed 12 lambs, which broke down into a set of quads, two sets of triplets and one set of twins. The ewes have got their work cut out that's for sure! We will be keeping a close eye on them to make sure that the ewes are getting all the extra feed they need and that non of the lambs are missing out on any milk! The lambing camera worked really well and allowed us to be on site…

Sales Day Sunshine

Wow the weather really delivered this sales day! The sun shone and the field was full of cars. We have changed the layout of the farm and so it meant that we had to change the normal positioning of things! Berrys cafe was stocked full of lovely cakes and food ready for everyone to tuck into... The wood work team had a variety of crafts on sale outside the back of Berrys cafe which looked fantastic in the sunshine. The hanging baskets and bedding plants sold really well and we know that they will only continue to look better throughout…

November at the farm

We missed an October blog! Woops! As always another busy month at the farm has come and gone in the blink of an eye! The wood work groups have been busy making also sorts of spooky props ready for the Family Care Trust Halloween ball which was held on 31st October. I think you will all agree that they made a fabulous job of setting the stage for the night! The barn has looked very haunted with all these grave stones! Not to miss out on some Halloween fun we also decided to have a Halloween party at the farm!…

New Arrivals

Welcome to our March blog, and what a lot of lamb pictures we have to share with you! A week earlier than expected our two of our lovely ewes decided to give birth to their lambs! The first ewe successfully had one lamb and the second ewe had three lambs! Because they had them so close together we were able to adopt one of the triplets onto the ewe who just had one, meaning that both ewes had two lambs each which was healthier for the ewes and the lambs. The adoption went really well and both came on leaps…

2015!

2015 Has already got off to a flying start! The gardening teams have been busy working on some raised beds for Coppice Junior School. They have certainly had to deal with their fair share of wet weather but i think you will all agree that it looks fantastic. Before After Well done to the project workers and staff who helped with this transformation, you have done an amazing job! This is the time of year where the animals get extra hungry and they require that bit of extra food to keep warm! The chickens have been enjoying some black sunflower…

BMW come to the farm!

This Tuesday a lovely group of BMW employees joined us at the farm to create a 'living fence' for us at the back of Berry's Cafe. The living fence will be planted with lots of herbs and edible plants which the cooking team can use in the lovely meals they make for us at the farm. The team did a fantastic job and the area is being planted as this is typed! We would like to say a huge thank you to the team as not only did they do a great job they also raised £400 for the materials…

We will soon be taking full advantage of eating our lunch in the sunshine and overlooking the field on Berry's cafes brilliant decking. Please be sure to pop down and have a coffee or lunch with…
