JLR bash though the farms to do list!

JLR bash though the farms to do list!

Over the last three weeks we have been very lucky to have been joined by several teams from Jaguar Landrover who have tackled a wide variety of jobs all over the farm. Post bashing in the horses field was top of the list and the teams ensured that over 100 posts were bashed into the ground by hand all around the field ready for the field to be used throughout the winter. We have since been able to get the posts all wired up ready for the horses! The groups not only waved their magic wand around the field they…

Juicing and Jamming

Farm life is busy as ever so here's a snapshot of whats been going on! There is always plenty of fencing to be re-done at the farm and we have now started at the bottom of the farm field.

The tortoises are a great indicator of the changing seasons as they start to slow down and prepare to hibernate. Terrance and Tequila…

Many of the old posts were heavily concreted into place and…

Fancy February

February has seen some huge developments at the farm! Heritage and Sons construction came to the farm to install several new water troughs in the fields and to provide water to our vegetable beds so that during the summer months we don't have to find miles and miles of hose pipes! The project workers loved watching the digger do all of the hard work and as the weather was so dry you would hardly know any work has been done at all! Keeping bio diversity and productivity in mind, the woodland has now reached semi maturity and the canopy has…

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…
