Greening fields, what more would you want? Sadly an awful lot more rain is needed but not at the moment as we have a ploughed, power harrowed and rolled field, ready for a new lay. Fingers now crossed that the rain stays away brilliant the seeds are sown. Thank you Will and Will of Sekinger Farming.
Markets tomorrow are;
The Usk Farmers' Market

I had a good time engaging with customers from yesteryear at thebarn_ledbury last evening and looking forward to returning in a couple of weeks time. Whilst there I witnessed rain but sadly the rain that we had at the farm was not the same and today no rain at all, the only saving grace is that it is cooler.
We have just had our TB test and am pleased to say that we are clear 🎉
Tomorrow, I’m at Stroud Farmers Market, with Will and Lydia at Cirencester Farmers' Market.
Beautiful evening skies whilst walking the dogs but so Autumnal.

As the weeks have been going by, our customers and friends are constantly asking us how we are dealing with the summer heat and how our girls are coping. The girls are surviving on the extra feeding we are doing and enjoying this year’s hay! We are back up and running in the Cheese House, please email us if you would like to visit. The ground is tinder dry and today we have been getting the smoke blown over from the Welsh fires.
