May Bank Holiday round up 🌞

We spent Saturday, Sunday & Monday planting 70,000 pumpkin seeds, ready for PYO pumpkins 2026 🎃 we sure know how to party 🎉

Plus another 20,000 planted with the lovely guys ~ we wouldn’t have got it done without a little help from our friends 🥳

It’s a long job, but it will all be worth it come October… let’s hope we get some good growing weather coming our way 🌱

This week on the farm 🐮 🐷 🐐 🫏
•
We have completed our annual bTB test on the cattle and thankfully passed ✅
All the cows have been scanned and 100% are in calf thanks to Bert the bull. 🐂 💪
Thank you to for that.
•
This calf seems to like the wrong side of the fence but seem pretty comfy watching the rainfall and the firewood being bagged ready for delivery
•
Next job… order some 🎃 seed!!
