Family, farm and off-grid life 🌿🌄

This year we have TONNES of apples 🍎 and have attempted to make cider for the very first time.

We juiced the apples, added some yeast and are now waiting while fermentation takes place. We're considering also experimenting with a blackberry variation.

We're also enjoying fresh apple juice each morning, we've made apple pies 🥧, vinegar, chutney, and our animals are getting 2 full buckets of apples each day! Bear also enjoys chasing the apples - like edible tennis balls! Any other ideas? 😁

The difference a year makes...

1 year old v 3 weeks old 💙

Our pigs have quickly learnt to sit for their food 🐷

Say what you may about pigs, but these girls are smart! They follow us around, know how to get through the fence when they want to (to our dismay!) and follow the water to make their own wallows - they even enjoy a shower with the hose 😂

We currently have cherry tomatoes growing in abundance, they're coming out of our ears 😅 so we decided to sun dry some of them!

We placed the halved tomatoes, cut side up, on a drying tray (pallet wood and some chicken wire), covered them in sea salt and waited 5 days. We then placed the sun-dried tomatoes in a jar with some fresh basil from the garden and covered in olive oil 🍅

They are DELICIOUS, it's fair to say this will be the first of many batches!

For Finn's first birthday we made him a tricycle from some lovely pieces of oak. It features a personalised basket at the back, we imagine him collecting all sorts of treasures from around the land in it ✨️

It won't be long until he's scooting around the farm in it 💙

Our little water baby 💙

We found a Finn sized waterfall at our local river beach, the water is pretty nippy here but he doesnt seem to mind at all!

A lovely few weeks back in Northern Ireland spent celebrating the new Mr & Mrs McKee at Belle Isle Estate, celebrating Finn's first birthday at The Ark Open Farm, catching up with family and friends, meeting Finn's cousins, and visiting some of our old favourite spots 💛

Our beautiful baby boy is ONE! 🥹

A year full of cuddles, adventures, smiles, animals, many firsts, and SO much love and joy 💙 we love you so much Finn!

Watching the animals enjoy a simple treat never gets old. 🌿🐐
Finn could happily sit here for ages, watching them munch away. Seeing him grow up surrounded by animals and finding so much joy in the little everyday moments is something we'll never take for granted. 🤍

Two very photogenic girls 🐷🐷

One who invited herself into our house last week and wants to be part of the family, and one who likes to boss everyone about from the comfort of her wallow pit! Never a dull day with animals on the farm! 😂
