Although it's not been as cold as some parts of the world, it's been a really cold week by English standards. It's been too cold to snow, the ice has even more ice on it and the winds have been bitter. As much as Chris, Helie and Claire would have loved to stay inside with a hot drink, they had to leave that to Casey and I while we're at home due t...

I've been missing the farm and working with the team during lockdown, but this week I've been missing it even more. Not only because the lambs have been really playful, but also because I've missed a couple of Birthdays to celebrate with them as well. I had my other half's Birthday at the beginning of the week and our very own farmer Casey's third ...

What a week it's been at the farm, it feels like we've been through all of the seasons with snow, ice, rain, sun and wind. Thankfully it's definitely starting so look a little more like Spring though with the first buds appearing and more births on the horizon. Despite looking forward to everything that Spring brings, the highlight for Casey and I ...

Slightly delayed today due to snow making it so much more fun to be outside, but now I'm here I want to start this week's update by saying a huge well done to Chris, Helie, Caroline and Claire. The hard work and dedication they put into the project week after week is amazing and this week has been no exception. In fact it's been one of the most cha...

I can't believe we're only just over two weeks into 2021 because it's been so busy at the farm already and this week, if nothing else, has been lambtastic. That's right, Coco and Eli are having to share the limelight in the barn now that there are three super cute lambs who are going to be really playful in no time at all. We welcomed our first lit...

At only just over a week into 2021, England is again in lockdown keeping our students away. As difficult as this is on our team, our students, the volunteers, plus Casey and I, we're certainly not going to let this get us down. We have a whole host of things in planning for this year at the farm, and things that Casey and I can get involved with wh...

It's my first blog of 2021 and I want to start by saying Happy New Year everyone. You've shared quite a year with us, but together we've made it through to here. Before we move on to share the New Year and I let you know about all of the amazing things coming at the farm this year, let's take a look back at 2020. The year we'll never forget. As far...

So that was Christmas 2020 and what a busy one it was at the farm and it's not all over yet. Though before I go onto all of that I just wanted to say that whatever you did and wherever you were, I hope some Christmas magic managed to reach you. It certainly reached Farmer Casey who, for the first time, was super excited that Santa had been and is s...

It's my last blog before Christmas and I know everyone will be looking at next week with mixed emotions, especially in the U.K. at the moment. Of course Chris, Helie, Caroline and myself wish we had a magic wand which we could wave so you could all be with your loved ones and safe at this magical time of year. Though, failing that, we'll all still ...

I think it's fair to say that it's been one of the busiest weeks we've had at the farm in a little while. Between the extra cleaning out with animals inside, the extra food rounds needed at this time of year and preparing for our Christmas panto, we've had preparations to keep our birds safe. Unfortunately bird flu (or avian flu) is now spreading a...
