Pea Sticks and bean poles sold outhazel pea sticks
We have had huge demand for our hazel bean poles and peas sticks this year and have about run out. Many gardeners are clearly aware of their high quality and the benefits of buying locally.

If you are thinking about next year, and we know gardeners are a forward-thinking breed, please do let us know. We are happy to take orders for sticks now for collection next spring. There's always a strong demand in spring so it's worth getting in early.

Admiral's return
Our Red Poll bull, Admiral's first calf was born in March and all of our calves were born in April and May. Too early to tell yet, but his offspring are looking pretty good so far. 

Admiral, our Red Poll bullAdmiral returned to Gravenhurst in June after a spell with Shuttleworth College's Red Polls. He is looking well and ready to fulfill his duties.

All the cattle except four young heifers are now together in our old meadows, enjoying the variety of grazing and secluded shady bits.

Wassledine blog - all stuff is thereGo to Wassledine's blog
I've started a blog, mainly because I like writing and it's somewhere to put things and because it's cheaper than vanity publishing. There's always alot going on around the farm and we're treating it as a bit of a diary. Inevitably there will be meandering pieces about the joys of flowers and trees and I suspect, given their current numbers, some ravings on the subject of rabbits and other unconnected topics.

Those of you who already blog will know that a blog offers the world at large the chance to comment on content, which if it happens, will be interesting. Also because visitor numbers can be easily monitored, if it turns out nobody visits, I'll turn it off.

Anyway, if you have a moment, click here and let me know what you think
