I accidentally prepare a midnight feast for a mouse, bottle feed my first lamb, learn about the benefits of egg mobiles and doff my cap to our seedlings' first true leaves.
Spring
Transplanting kale, building garden beds, welcoming new lambs and enjoying communal life.
We've been building the beds for the market garden, watching out for lambs, eating our first harvest and enjoying time together.
Meeting the team, forest walking, rescuing chickens and weeding
The team walked the land at Henbant, weeded the market garden, rescued a few chickens and re-created Wes Anderson's Life Aquatic.
Chicken care, seed sowing, no-dig beds and DIY
I've been looking after the chickens, seed sowing for the market/kitchen gardens and learning how to use a drill.
A warm welcome to Henbant permaculture farm
My first two weeks at Henbant have been filled with delicious food, laughter around the dinner table, roaring fires, cows, chickens, sheep, brambles and plenty of lessons in regenerative agriculture.
