Ever since working on the farm which hosts Groundswell Agriculture 4 years ago I've always thought about one day being able to speak on a panel there.

Well that day is happening next week! There has never been any kind of discussion on pigs and how they fit into a regenerative system at Groundswell and I couldn't let another year go by without them being brought into the conversation.

I teamed up with the brilliant Hannah from The Inkpot who is our chair for the panel and recruited the ultimate pastured pig farmer Fred Price Gothelney Farmer and Flav whose pastured pig operation has come on in leaps and bounds since taking on a tenant farm last year.

Our topic is 'Integrating Pigs into Regenerative Farms' and with all 3 of us farming in very different ways it should be a very interesting discussion! Please join us at 3pm in the Study on Thursday for lots of piggy chat 🐽

Happy belated 3rd birthday to my Ruby ❤ (it was yesterday 🤫🤭)

The best constant companion, knowing just how to make me laugh and fix things when they go wrong. As well as a pro pig, chicken and cow dog - we're still working on the sheep part 😆

I'd just numbered and tailed this pair, mumma sheep was just checking on her lambs after I let them go. She was also probably wondering what the strange smell of the spray paint was!

We tail the lambs within the first 24 hours when we can catch them easily and then we can also number them early on in case a lamb gets lost or isn't feeling well so we can find it's mum again.

Tailing lambs is done purely for their health. When they're older and have more wool, long tails are more prone to getting dirty which attracts the attention of flies. The flies lay their eggs in the dirty wool and the larvae hatch out and feast on the poor sheep. Otherwise known as fly strike. It's obviously something we want to do as much as possible to prevent happening.

We're more than halfway through lambing now, soon calving will start too!

Our cattle spend the winter inside, eating silage and hay, continuing their fully pasture fed life. We are gradually increasing our cattle grazing season by improving our soils, but because we have a high proportion of clay in our soils we need to bring the cattle in for the wettest months to avoid poaching and compacting the ground.

I think we're all waiting for this long wet winter to be over and ready to see the new calves skipping around the fields again!

We loved hosting Farms Not Factories a while ago so we could share our farming methods with them, including our soy free pastured pigs. 🐖

A huge thank you to them for sharing our story! 🎥

All this talk of spring on its way and it having been a 'long January' has got me thinking. I've really not been hating on winter as much as usual. Maybe that's a sign that I'm learning to cope with the seasonal changes better or maybe that now I know what to expect and can adapt accorringly. Or maybe I've entered a delusion that it's not too bad because it's been a dry couple of weeks and nothing has gone spectacularly wrong during that time 🤷‍♀️

Either way, winter has it's moments and I like to make the most of them ❄️

When asked to speak at for the second year about our pastured poultry and pig systems, I said yes!! FarmEd is definitely one of my favourite places, in the beautiful Cotswolds and filled with wonderful people ❤️ it was the best couple of days learning from fellow farmers as well as hopefully inspiring others!

Of course Ruby had to feature in several slides 🐕

Thank you for being brilliant as always 🔥

One week in 💪

Bit of mud around the shelters and where the pigs wait when they hear me coming. Probably should've fenced it off before but it rained a lot more than expected in 24 hours 🤷‍♀️

Our sheep get to tour the Devonshire countryside in winter, giving our farm a rest ready for lambing.

This group is on some ground on the other side of Tiverton, most of which is used only for hay making in summer for horses. During winter it would otherwise be unused if we hadn't brought some of our ewes over to graze it. It will grow a better crop of hay next year too after the sheep have fertilised it!

Would you believe this was taken on my phone?

I must admit I don’t often post photos that where taken on my phone as I think sometimes they just don’t look as good as camera photos, however when I was at Redwoods Farm yesterday I captured their gorgeous training sheep dog sally! You can’t really tell in the photo but sally is such a small little collie with bundles of energy.

Really not what I'd normally be putting pigs out onto but needs must...

These three have just joined the breeding herd (yet to be named 🙊) and had to be in the shed for a couple of weeks as I didn't have anywhere else to put them 😬 none of them had ever been in a shed in their entire lives and in protest they plotted their revenge and turned on a tap and flooded the shed overnight... as in, more than ankle-deep flooded 50% of the shed - their entire pen, the poor cattle next door and a few other pigs too 🙈🤭

Their protest obviously worked, the next day dad offered up this field as 'the next pig field' 🐷😆

It's been poached pretty heavily by cattle, it was the last field the young stock were in before they came inside and they were fed hay out there too before it just got too wet for them. However, I'm pretty confident the power of piggies will improve this field no end 💪 it just may be a case of 'gets worse before it gets better'... 😬
