Hi all!

Farm news:

We are really heading into Autumn now, the nights are drawing in, and the mornings are a touch more chilly!

This has been a MAST year, with masses of acorns, which is a huge worry for us as they are toxic to both sheep and goats.... It does seem that the majority have dropped now, and I'm considering the implications of borrowing a pig or two in the next mast year as they eat acorns with no ill effects!

As we had poor grazing this year due to the very hot summer, our sheep are now happily munching on silage from a local farm to supplement the grass they currently have

Our new Gotlands have settled in well too, and are all very friendly now.

And so we prep for winter..... Autumn is so busy for me!

Products and shop news:

I have recently bought a drum carder, and now sell carded batts.  They've been going down a storm, so I'm very pleased to be able to offer this new product.   

My peg loom weaving course launches at the weekend!  I realised a few months ago that as I make my own Christmas gifts, why not give others the chance to buy a kit and learn a new skill! 

So please do check back in on 11th October to see more! 

A short blog and update for today - I hope to do them a little more frequently in future!
