Hi everyone, I am now back from a long, well deserved break with a fresh mind and plenty of ideas in my pocket, none of which will be possible without your help! Event; " Earth Wishing Tree" Launch on the 18th of September is the last cream tea of the season at the farm and we will take this opportunity to launch The " new look " of the field with an "Earth wishing tree"; the tree has been enthusiastically started during the children workshop " Sculpture in nature"(see photos) of the 9th of August and they are all looking forward to see how other people will follow in their footsteps and make the space a Community Hub filed with your ideas and wishes to make the farm and the surrounding landscape a better place. In the meantime, I need you to come and help clearing the space and prepare the trail and signing as well as continue the fleece washing task (only 12 days of work to go to complete the challenge). Next date
