Farm Life Spring/Summer

The days and weeks are passing so quickly on the farm at the moment, it is a really busy time for us, rejuvenating 4 Acres of new farm land, Animal additions, Baby Chicks and Ducks and holding events on the farm.

We had a fun Easter Event with over 1000 children taking part in our Farm Easter Trail and at our Seed Sowing Event you all planted over 200 Pumpkin/Sunflower seeds to take home and nuture yourselves.

In June we started the first cuts into our Hay Meadow to create an area for a new paddock.

We now have 2 Sheep, a Blue Face Leicester named Olive & a Wiltshire Horn, named Hope, as the name suggests, Hope is the one with horns, who have since become friends with 2 Boer Goats named Lemon & Sherbert.

And of course there is our Duckling, now a fully sized Duck, which was found early one evening away from the nest, we're still not sure how this happened, so we took the Duckling indoors, and snuggled him up with a soft teddy and fluffy hat and was hand feed for a couple of days.

Our Duckling did very well and followed us around the farm, and loved having cuddles with us.

He is now fully grown, we say he, we are still not sure yet, and is now living and friends with our other female Duck.

Aside from looking after the livestock at the farm we have been busy with our Pumpkin Patch, this is our first year of growing Pumpkins and so far so good, we have over 400 plants and all are flowering well and Pumpkins are starting to grow.
