Farming, Woodland and WWOOFing Oppportunties
Throughout the farming year there are varied opportunities to join in with the range of projects we are planning. There is always regular daily animal work with the Cows, Sheep and Horses and also in the farm vegetable garden which is run by a group of about a dozen local families.
Woodland Coppicing February and March 2012
There are 43 acres of mixed species (mainly Beech) ancient woodland along the top edge of the farm. 5 acres of this is thoroughly neglected old Hazel coppice. In early 2012 we will be re-planting the fourth coop and fencing it against the deer. Please do come and join us if you would like to help.
Lambing Spring 2012
Live in help very much needed please during the whole of March 2012 and first half of April. Experience not essential. Will suit observant, hard working individual or couple. We have 40 ewes lambing and 16 Beef cows calving in March plus routine work with our horses and the farm garden.
We are also members of WWOOF so you may have seen our request for help on their web site or newsletter as well.
