• Lambing has started: over 20 Lleyn and Black Welsh Mountain lambs have been born so far.
• 30 piglets have been born in the past few weeks.
• Our first goslings and ducklings will be hatching any day soon.
• We are planting a patch of sunflowers and millet in the orchard to self-feed the chickens: in the same vein, we are hoping to plant 3 acres of chicory ley for the pigs to eat.
• A license to kill: Tim is now licensed to slaughter and dry-pluck all poultry on site which means that each bird is handled humanely and individually, and finished by hand. Dry plucking also results in less bacteria.
• The last of our leeks are being harvested
