I posted this as a story, but as they expire after 24 hours, I’m posting as a post as well.

James at The Copper Pot Campsite near Cotehele - National Trust cooks an epic roast over the open fire every Christmas Day. It is free for anyone to attend for whatever reason. You can turn up, eat, and leave, or hang out by the fire for the evening, or bring a tent and stay the night, or book a camping spot in one of his lovely lodging options.
No-one needs to be hungry or alone this Christmas ❤️❤️

Please feel free to share with anyone you think might like to come x

Wow, wow, wow, THANK YOU to everyone who came to our end of summer get together to celebrate local businesses 😍

who were the catalyst for the entire event - an amazing pair of female founders showcasing their locally made ice cream ( - made in Plymouth) in their beautiful vintage ice cream van - available for events all year round - let them know if you need them!

- sharing their white and blush rose wines by the glass - much requested by locals who have been watching their amazing farm diversification 😍 Follow them for updates as they share their journey over the coming years.

We thought we’d pop a few burgers on to feed the visitors to Dreamy and Shillingham and oh my goodness - you wiped us out!! We sold out of every burger!! Loads of salads left 😆 obvs we kerndogs love the meat 😆

Apologies to anyone arriving after 6pm and getting caught in the mass arrival/queue situation 😬 not sure how we can better manage that in future, but any ideas, please do let me know!

We got so lucky with the weather - couldn’t avoid a small shower, but we were rewarded with beautiful rainbows 😍😍

And thanks once again to all our local producers. for the meat, .courtyard for the buns, .life for the veg, for the liquid refreshments for the beautiful organic flowers

Special thanks to for sorting me out soft drinks at late notice at literally 5 minutes before closing on Friday 🤦‍♀️ after I completely forgot that not everyone lives on wine or beer 😆

And special extra thanks must go to Treveddoe for a beyond the call of duty help on Saturday night when I realised I’d miscounted the beef needed due to double patty maths not mathing and sorting us 15 extra packs of beef whilst he was at his brothers wedding!! What a total legend, and something that can only be done when you . Thank you Ben you legend for saving the day 💚💚💚

Just spent the morning at .life digging potatoes for Sunday. I probably won’t be able to walk tomorrow 😆 but it will be worth it to share these lovely Sarpo Miras with the community. These beautiful red potatoes are really well suited to organic systems, but Arthur and Jade have gone one better and true to their farm name (which means wild in Cornish) they have cover cropped their potatoes with soil improving plants like chicories and vetch. It might mean the potatoes are a little smaller and maybe the yields a little lower, but when you see conventional potato fields stripped bare after harvest, leaving the soil to wash away in the rains, and then you come here and see the ground still covered in living roots after harvest, and the fields bursting with life, it couldn’t be more different.

If you’d like to see Grove farm for yourself, they are starting to offer wild camping - get in touch with them direct to book a spot. It’s a really beautiful place, full of nature and overlooking the Lynher river.

I also grabbed some beetroot, and then as I walked back to the car I spotted a polytunnel so grabbed some tomatoes and cucumbers so the veg side salads tomorrow will be roasted beetroot with toasted hazelnuts, herbs and optional feta and the other option will be heritage tomatoes with basil and delicious organic Portuguese olive oil imported by sail by .

I’ve got a new fandangled preorder thingy so I’ll update with the sides and get the link out later today x

Oh also meant to say - check out the Luffas in the last pic! I bought one from Arthur at the farmers market last November, and have used it for washing up ever since and it’s still going strong! You should be able to buy these when they’re ready, as well as all his other lovely produce through the fab team (who also have a refer a friend offer on at the moment).

What a fabulous fruity bank holiday!

Spent bank holiday Monday morning picking apples at the lovely Newton Farm in the Tamar valley with the - picking fruit destined for food banks across Cornwall. This is so important because so much of the food available in foodbanks is tins, packets, and otherwise highly processed food. The gleaning network get fresh fruits and veg, often from organic farms, that is hard to harvest directly to those that need it most.
Our hosts this time were Kate and Andy, who are turning their 20 acres into an idyllic nature reserve and education centre, with new (relatively speaking) hedgerows and orchards, grazed by cattle, elderly pet sheep and pigs 😍
The absolute machines that are the gleaners picked half a tonne of apples in one morning 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 BOOM!!

Then I headed straight over to a nearby orchard where I had heard rumour that they have Rumbullion cherries. And not only did they have Rumbullions, but they had a tree grown from a grafting that was taken from the very trees that grew here when the Barrett brothers owned it!!! Mary Martin and James Evans have been painstakingly collecting samples of local trees over the past 50 years, and serendipitously for me, our farm was one of the ones they took cuttings from. They have graciously agreed to let me take some cuttings, so not only have we found Rumbullion, we have found our very own, and are bringing them home!!! 🍒🍒🍒 To say I am absolutely buzzing is an understatement 😍😍😍
Mary was so gracious, sharing her knowledge built up over the years and impeccable record keeping, giving us a guided tour of her beautiful garden and treating us to tea and delicious home made cake. Genuinely life affirming stuff and feeling like my cup is very full right now 💚💚

Had such a lovely visit to this week 😍 what they have achieved in such a short time is incredible, and my absolute favourite was the field of sunflowers companion planted into a diverse mix of phacelia, clovers, vetch, buckwheat, mustards, and other soil improving plants. I had never seen waist height clover before - it was incredible!

I first met Wayne a few years ago at a biodynamic training course at the amazing and as we took turns stirring up a big bucket of pooh, he told me of his dream to start the uks first biodynamic flower farm along with his wife Tamsin.

That dream is now coming true, thanks to finding a plot just outside Liskeard, facilitated by the - a brilliant model where the eco co-op buy parcels of land and install key shared infrastructure and acheive planning permission in principle for an eco dwelling on each sub plot. This radically reduces the barriers to entry for land workers.

The flower industry can be problematic in terms of seasonality/flower miles, and pesticide use, but we are definitely starting to see that change with UK pioneers such as and in Cornwall and Devon. We’re so lucky to now have Trelowen on our doorstep. They have all sorts of exciting plans including pick your own and suppers in the sunflowers 😍🌻😍 so worth giving them a follow to stay up to date.

If you are coming to the back to school burger and ice cream event at ours on the 31st August, you can preorder a bunch of sunflowers (other flowers also available - check Trelowens insta a bit closer to the day to see what is blooming) and collect them on the day at ours 💛💛💛

Oooooh this is exciting!!

Joining us at the back to school burger and ice cream evening is our gorgeous friends at 😍😍

If you have walked the public footpaths through the fields at Anthony passage, you will have seen the extraordinary transformation over the past few years as the Ramsden family have diversified their farm with 71,000 vines. Their location nestled on the banks of the Lynher is perfect for the varieties of grape they have chosen.

You will have the chance to try their first vintage, with wine by the glass on site, or bottles to take home (and save the cost of postage). Having had a little taste a few weeks ago, I can guarantee you’re in for a treat!!

Dates for the next Burger night have dropped!

Sunday 31st August 4.00-8.00

Not going to be long until the end of the summer holidays 😭😭 (or 🎉🎉 depending on your perspective 😆😆)

if you’re stressing over the last minute back to school panic, let us take one thing off your list and join us on the farm for a locally sourced, nutritious dinner 😍.

We’re teaming up this time with the wonderful folk at who raise a beautiful herd of belted Galloways at their farm just outside Liskeard. Ben and Claudi run their farm to the highest agroecological standards. They are certified , meaning their herds have free access to diverse forage all year round, for all of their life. You can learn more about their story in the fabulous film. In addition to all the environmental benefits of this type of conservation grazing, nascent research suggests there are health benefits to 100% pasture reared beef, such as a higher ratio of the essential fatty acid Omega 3, which our bodies can’t naturally produce.

We’ll also have a back to school treat from our gorgeous neighbours . These lovely ladies are following their dream to bring joy, on the journey to owning their own rum bar lol. But in the meantime they will be feeding us delicious ice cream from local legend from their beautiful vintage ice cream truck 😍😍

We’ll have takeaway containers for those that want to grab and run, but if you’d like to stay please bring a picnic blanket or chair, games for the kids, and come relax and have dinner with us in the hay meadow.

May have some some other local suppliers coming onboard too - will keep you posted 👍
