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...

The countdown to Christmas has well and truly started and while I am at home defending my tree from Teddy attacks (turns out my kitten is a pretty good tree climber) the farm is getting more prepared for the festivities too. We've not only got our pallet Christmas tree joining us across the live feeds and rush hour (who I think will last longer tha...

I do wonder if I'll ever get to my weekly CaenhillCC blog and say it's been a quiet week. Sometimes I think it might even happen, but this week is certainly not the week as we've been busy settling into our new normal and preparing for everything ahead. If you're wondering what our new normal is, well, to start with it's a lot of live feeds. Chris ...

Through the years at the CaenhillCC project we're very privileged to say that a lot of the animals no longer at the farm have moved on rather than been lost. Some were housed with us for a short time and moved on with their owners, others went on to loving homes as pets (like my kitten Teddy), while the rest went to other projects or to support bre...

You might be like me and be totally unprepared for Christmas, I've got a huge list to work my way through, but this week we're ramping up the Christmas preparations at the farm. You might think it feels a little early but with so many animals to get treats for and so many of you that we want to share the celebration with, it really is the sooner we...

It might be a busy week out in the world but as ever, our focus at the farm continues to be our animals and it's certainly a busy time of year when it comes to their care. It's getting colder and wetter around the farm and that means more of our animals are heading into the barn with more feed needed, more water to fill up and of course, more pooh ...

It's the first of the month and though we're really aware that a lot of people are waking up to some uncertainty this morning, especially in England with the next lockdown planned in, we're really looking forward to sharing another month of the farm with you. We're not all too certain what the coming lockdown means for us as a project, hopefully we...

You'll no doubt have noticed that it's been a pretty big week at the farm this week, and I will talk about our biggest news, but before we get there we can't forget the rest of the farm. Even when we're celebrating we're still looking after the animals and developing the project at the same time. Farming never stops. One of the areas we've been con...
