New Organic Orchard! (27th Feb 26)
We started planting our organic orchard this week
We’ve put in a mix of apples, pears, cherries and plums, with the aim of building a healthy, natural system over time. The sheep and chickens will graze among the trees, helping manage the grass and naturally improve the soil as they go
Letting the hens roam through the orchard should mean better-tasting eggs too, with a more varied natural diet from grasses, insects and whatever they find scratching around between the trees
It’s just the beginning, but it’s good to see the first trees in the ground. Looking forward to watching it all grow in the years ahead
