Life is often full of surprises and being a project focussed on animals and children, we've had our fair share at the farm. That said, I certainly wasn't prepared for everything we had in store this week. A week all about kids which turned into something extra special for our farm family. After Lucy's twin kid goats arrived on Monday, Lily and Lois...

It might have been a bit wetter and a bit colder than we wanted here this week, especially for Casey and I wanting to get out and have some quality time together, but what a week at the farm. All because this week we've seen a bit of the old farm buzz returning with more students coming back, even more volunteers and more potential placements visit...

We're back to Sunday again already and at the farm, well, the team really deserves a break. While Casey and I have been going through the difficulties of being apart for the first time with him starting some preschool, the team has been welcoming more young people back to the farm. We've all had a lot of changes to work through, but I'm sure they'l...

The media storm might have calmed down, especially with Wiggle the goose, Taz the emu and Alfred the kid goat growing up too much to spend time cuddled together, but we're still working hard. While I'm having to slow down due to pregnancy, Chris, Helie and Caroline have been focused on the farm schedule and there are a few changes to share with you...

I can't start this week's blog without a big thank you to Matt from Countryfile for the short feature he put together for last Sunday's show. We might have been a little nervous about what the final edit was going to look like, but I personally feel that he did our project proud. He not only spent time to understand the work we do, but also got acr...

What a week it's been at the farm again, it seems that the unusual friendship of Taz the baby emu, Alfred the kid goat and Wiggle the gosling is capturing hearts all over the world. They've been in the press again, on the television but most importantly, hanging out in our barn together with more to come. When I see our trio together it really...

To be honest I don't even know where to begin this week. There's been radio, press, lots of work for the team and we're on the countdown to Easter and our feature on Countryfile. Though, hopefully a good place to start is by saying welcome to any new followers or supporters out there who've found us through the coverage this week. We knew Taz would...

It's really busy at the farm at the moment but I think it's fair to say that this week has been the week of Taz, our baby emu. It feels like we've been talking about the potential of baby emus for a while now, though it was only back in mid-December that our first eggs appeared confirming we had a breeding pair. Before I talk more about Taz, there ...

What a week it's been, especially now I can finally say we have kid goats. Yes, after all of the waiting and thinking it'll be anytime now and they'll most likely come along as I publish a blog, they've started to arrive. We still never completely know what's going to happen at the farm, so anything could happen as I publish, but I'm really happy t...

After the excitement of last week, it's been a much calmer week at the farm this week, well, in terms of extra activity going on anyway. It's always busy with so many animals to feed. It's at least been perfect timing to get some animal feed in from Wynnstay, get Oreo helping with more rounds of hay and have a few sheep rush hours. We've ...
