🚜 Dirty Fingernails in the Pulpit

Saturday 10 October, 2pm, St Swithun's Church, Leonard Stanley

🚜 Come and hear Revd Jan, a vicar, farmer and meadow contractor from the North Cotswolds, share how he balances farming with caring for his community.

🚜 We'll also hear from a local farmer about village life and farming, with plenty of time to share your own stories over refreshments.

🚜 Got a vintage tractor? We'd love to see it!

🪎 Chris and I have taken up metal detecting as a new family hobby, and the kids love joining in to see what turns up. Mostly it's B.O.A.Ts, the technical term for Bits Off A Tractor, but every now and then you get lucky.

This week we found a genuine Roman coin on our own land. From the lettering still visible it looks Constantinian, so probably 4th century AD, which makes it well over 1,600 years old.

Not as random as it sounds either. Arlingham sits right on the Severn's Horseshoe Bend, opposite Newnham and the Forest of Dean, and this stretch of river was one of the most important Roman crossing points in the country. Narrow enough to ford, and linked to routes bringing iron, coal, stone and timber out of the Forest. There's even been Roman road found here in Arlingham before.

Strange to think Roman traders and soldiers might have crossed the Severn right where we now farm. Makes you wonder what else is still down there.

🌾 Big job finally ticked off here at Church Farm, we've worked our way through all the maize stubble this week, getting the fields ready for grass again.

Where the ground had become compacted, we used the Sumo first to open things back up, then drilled with grass seed and rolled it over to finish. Just need some rain now to get it germinated and growing.

🥩 Straight into the freezer and ready to go! 🥩

We’ve now transferred everything into our new commercial freezer, locking in all that freshness.
We’ve got a lovely supply of steaks, mince, joints and stewing steak ready and waiting, brilliant for a quick afterschool spaghetti bolognaise or a lovely hearty cottage pie.

This will be the last of the meat available until our Christmas cow, so if you’d like something in the meantime, get in touch now.

🎄 Waiting list now open for Christmas, DM us to reserve your box. 🎄

📸 Spotted from above, Mark kindly sent his drone up at the weekend and it picked up some strange tramlines in one of our fields, patches of yellow and dark green running through it.

Any guesses what’s caused this? Let us know your thoughts below, curious to see what you come up with!

🌽 Forager picked up some metal in the maize today, luckily caught before it caused any real damage.

All part of harvest, you never quite know what’s hiding in the field. Luckily we had CLAAS Western to lend a hand 👌
