The beginnings of our website is now live.. hoping to add more pages once the craziness of Christmas has passed! Can’t wait to tell you more about the farm and the journey we are on. #newbeginnings #highwelfarefarming #happycows

The dry weather has made most of grasses head. So I can play my game of how many types of grass in a field ( normal getting small children involved but only me today). Think 8 here, plus birds foot trefoil, self heal, lady's bedstraw and clover. Youn

Next 7 pictures from May. Loving the hedges, hawthorn in flower. Heifers are loving eating them too. Digging in dung pats for dung beetles. Swallows on farm but seem less then normal this year. Hope pictures of nests next week.
Farm photo for each day of May: Enjoying spring on the farm! 🌱
Finding it hard selling the diary herd and all staff leaving the farm. But a new calf always bring me joy. Looking forward to spring and summer, which will hopefully bring a new herd of milking cows and new people on to the farm.
