Barn owl excitement

15 August 2024

We are so excited that we have barn owl chicks in one of our owl boxes. They have now been weighed, measured and ringed. There are two of them and they are doing really well.

We have some availability in Owl Cottage and Wild Rose in September, and our lamb sales are going well too. If the dates don’t quite work for you we can often be flexible — just get in touch and we will always try to accommodate where we can.

Snowdrops, new cattle and ewes snug in the sheds — the first small signs of spring around the steading.

November 2025

Family time on the coast, new cattle, and the tups about to meet the ewes ahead of spring lambing.

September 2025

Clipping, combining, drilling and rolling — a flat-out August on the farm, with a little family time (and ice cream) squeezed in.
