Welcome
Recent Events on the Farm
April 2017 – The warmer weather has seen everything green up and really grow, our spring crops were planted and are now looking well.
Annual application of organic pig manure is being put onto the growing crops, slurry, as it is known is best put on in Spring as this is when the crops are growing and require lots of nutrients. The land is also dry so the slurry will give much needed moisture to the fields.
Our swallow birds returned ‘home’ on Friday 21st April after their long flight and winter in warmer climates – its good to see they have survive the epic journey and we will look forward to watching them have babies during the summer.
We invited two ladies from Next in Hull (the clothing store) visit our farm to hold new born piglets. They learned about how pigs are cared for and all of the hard work that goes into rearing pigs.
