The celebrations of Christmas and New Year are behind us and we are looking forward to the spring. We have had more cows arrive on the farm. The ewes are all snuggly in the sheds out of the mud and will stay there until the end of March. This means there is lots of bedding and feeding to be done each day.
There are definitely some small signs of spring, with the snowdrops up around the steading and the farm. They always make us smile.
Matt, Lucy and the team — a working organic farm in the Scottish Borders, organic since 2005.
Our oatcake-making experience has been going really well. It’s proving to be a lovely way to share a little bit of our local food traditions and give guests the chance to get hands-on, using local ingredients and make their own oatcakes. There is even a chance at the end to enjoy a taster.
Well, we are all a little too warm this week. Even the dogs needed to cool off after moving sheep. We have been busy on sheepwork this week so are starting early before it gets too hot.
Family time on the coast, new cattle, and the tups about to meet the ewes ahead of spring lambing.
Two cottages and a caravan site on the farm, plus tours and experiences with Matt and Lucy.
