Anyone else feel like we are experiencing a second spring? The HOT days and welcome rain are helping the grass grow like it’s April.
I speak on behalf of every livestock farmer in England and Wales when I say what a relief to actually have grass!
And now I speak for every farmer on the Somerset levels when I plead that it stays dry enough so the animals can actually eat the grass, before the inevitable winter flooding arrives.

I asked but they didn’t fancy taking the 5 mile diversion 🤣

Thankfully the rain has FINALLY come and the grass is once again growing.
What a RELIEF!
Unfortunately a lot of the damage has already been done, to the grass, the soil, the sheep and our pocket!
To try and combat the ill effects the drought has had on just about every aspect of the farm, we are feeding the ewes. Something we try and avoid as we want our girls to be exclusively grass fed, however there are times of the year when it’s unavoidable. For example on the run up to lambing, when the ewes are carrying lots of lambs they need a bit of cake to help support the growth of the lambs. Sometimes they need a little helping hands in the depth of winter, if it’s been particularly harsh and the grass just doesn’t have enough nutrients to sustain them. August and September however are not the months we want to be feeding but they just weren’t getting the nutrients they need to sustain themselves, let alone get themselves in the best shape for seeing the ram in a couple of months. So we’ve started feeding them. Not that they mind of course! They all think Christmas has come earlier.

We will have some hogget meat available in the coming weeks.

But what is hogget? I’m glad you asked. It’s a sheep between 1 & 2 years of age. Hogget meat has the tenderness of a young animal with a much richer, deeper, and more developed flavor, making it a highly sought-after alternative to standard lamb.

This will be the last meat we have available until the end of the year so if you’d like to get your hands on some please drop us a message.

Like everything, the production costs have increased since our last batch of meat boxes, abattoir and butcher costs have both increased so we’ve had to increase our prices. They are still super competitive as we want to make our meat available for as many people as we can.

This is by far my favourite lamb recipe. Probably one of my favourite recipes of all time.

I served mine with beef tallow roasted potatoes, honey roasted carrots & parsnips and purple sprouting broccoli. It was divine.
