WEEKLY ROUNDUP 6 SEPTEMBER 2020
What a week it's been at the farm this week and it's really exciting to be ending the week with lambs. It's really unusual to have lambs this time of year, but as you know our farm is full of surprises and on Friday Devon and Dorset arrived. I'd love to say that they arrived with no trouble at all, but unfortunately both lambs had their legs in the...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 31 AUGUST 2020
This week marked one year since we started our patreon page where for the first time we gave you the chance to sponsor our animals. One year later we have 242 patreons and I think each and every one of them is amazing. To have a regular income to help with animal feed and care is more than I could have dreamt of, we only wish we had more time to cr...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 22 AUGUST 2020
Every time I sit and think that perhaps the week has been a little quieter at the farm, I go to my laptop and scroll through the CaenhillCC social media channels and realise that, as usual, there's loads to say. Then I think about everything the team has achieved behind the scenes too and suddenly I'm worried about boring you, so in the interest of...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 16 AUGUST 2020
I am incredibly proud to start this week's roundup with the news that CaenhillCC has been shortlisted for the Digital Innovator Award as part of the British Farming Awards 2020. The whole team has worked incredibly hard to get the project to the point that it's at today, there've been sleepless nights, long days, students, volunteers and a crazy mi...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 9 AUGUST 2020
I know I don't normally start with the biggest news, but this is too huge to wait. Chris left the farm. That's right, our one and only Chatty Farmer stepped away from the farm and on more than one occasion too. Not only has Chris been sharing some amazing footage of the canal just a stones throw away from the farm through his Chatty Farmer social m...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 2 AUGUST 2020
What a week it's been at the farm, an amazing week to mark the first anniversary of the farm rush hour going viral. It's been a busy year since Rachel Thompson shared the farm story on Mashable, we're so pleased that she found us and honoured that she wrote a follow up article one year on. A lot has changed at the farm in a year and we've all had t...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 26 JULY 2020
Happy six year anniversary CaenhillCC, what a six years it has been. In a way it feels like the project started just yesterday, while in another way it feels like it's been going forever. I guess in a way the farm project has been going forever for me since it's based on the farm where I grew up and I couldn't be more proud of everything my parents...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 19 JULY 2020
It's been another busy week at the farm this week, but that's farm life. When there are animals to look after and there's work to organise, there really isn't a day off or a chance to stay in bed. Well, Casey and I might have had a few longer sleeps this week, but that's the benefit of us not living on the farm, hehehe. We've even slept through a f...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 12 JULY 2020
It's been such a busy week I don't even know where to begin, and life with kittens has only made it even busier for myself, Caroline and Chris. They're cute, but so much of a distraction. Apart from being fussy with cat litter (and walking on my keyboard while I'm trying to write this) Teddy has adapted to family life so well, she happily plays wit...
WEEKLY ROUNDUP 5 JULY 2020
I just want to start by saying a huge thank you to all of the @CaenhillCC_xtra followers on Twitter. I am so honoured to have over 1000 followers. When I first created the account in September last year, it was a channel to talk about how Casey and I supported the farm, but I've had the privilege of turning the account into a place for all of our a...
