1000 Mouths What an incredible weekend of feasts and festivities on the farm! Thank you so much to everyone involved and thanks to Adam Sargent and Ross Talling for capturing the wonderful memories shown here in our gallery!

We’ve been longing for some rain for week’s now and this week its finally arrived in buckets! Our deep-rooted herbal leys have stood up well in the early summer drought, but the newly sown seeds can finally get going to all our relief. Suddenly there are weeds everywhere! With only 3 cows left to calve, […]
