"Funny, never considered it before, but seeds are

"Funny, never considered it before, but seeds are a sort of metaphor for life; small things, nurtured and tended, in time become great, but scattered and left they’re probably wasted."

We couldn't agree more!! What a beautiful observation from one of our generous Seed Classroom Crowdfunder supporters.

We're a third of the way there with our Crowdfunder and the work is coming along on the classroom! Please support if you can - take a look at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/ths-seed-classroom

Thank so much to all the kind folk who have supported so far!

What a weekend we've had wall-ing away! 🌞⛏🌳

Thanks to everyone who joined for our two day Devon Hedge Laying & Stone Walling - we've had a beautiful weekend up on the hill restoring banks & hedges using traditional techniques.

In recent years we've been rebuilding the 3 miles of Devon banks on and around our land, planting over 2,500 hedgerow trees to date! The restoration helps with water drainage & retention on our slopey fields, makes more space for wildlife and of course keeps our curious flock out of mischief! 🦋🐏

WELLIE STOMP FUN DAY 🥾🐖
Last weekend we hosted one of our fabulous Wellie Stomp Fun Days!
Visiting the animals, making clay boggits, felting and (windy) hill top walks were all on the schedule for this one.
There is nothing more enjoyable than sharing the fun and creative work we do here with children, and we can't wait to have you all back with us again!
.
This was our last wellie stomp of the year, but if you are interested in bringing some of your little ones up with us on the hill, be sure to join our newsletter for new course dates and updates in the new year!

TRAINING CHEFS 🥦
This Monday we welcomed a group of chefs in training from @exetercollege up onto the hill, to have a look around and learn about the food we eat!
It is always a joy passing on precious knowledge on food and growing practices to the next generation, and we can't wait to see these guys do amazing things in the future!
Always a pleasure!

We are so excited to begin building a new seed classroom to grow our therapeutic horticulture work with children, young people and adults with additional needs!

Nestled in between our memorial garden and our poly-tunnels, it'll be a theraputic and practical space where we can deliver more gardening and growing sessions to more people.

We are halfway there with funding the classroom, and we're crowd funding the rest!
🌱
We've got some brilliant rewards, from our home-grown herbal teas to weekend stays in our yurts! Please help us to share this far and wide so we can carry on growing our work and reach more people!

I thought a seasonal #tbt to one of my favourite photos of Jonty and the sheep might be appropriate to let you all know that fresh lamb will be available for delivery tomorrow alongside our veg bag deliveries.
Joints, half joints, mince and chops are all available.

Our new Tamworth ladies have arrived! 🐖
These two beauties came to us from the lovely The Rugglestone inn. To join Spartacus this year! 🐽
A few months old (and very cute) we are looking forward to these ladies being Husbandry School residents for years to come.🐖
Currently nameless, we will pull names out of a hat for the pair once all our students have thrown their choices in the ring!
Any suggestions are always welcome, let us know! 🐷

We had a fantastic harvest of onions this year, getting fat and juicy with the added bowts of rain over summer and following by the perfect drying off/curing hot weather!
(honestly why no onion emoji's? Campaign for better veg emoji's anyone!)
Liam and Esme were proud growers when they pulled these beauties out of the mud!

We spent a gorgeously hot day last week braiding up chains of our beautiful garlic harvest!
These braided beauties went into our veg bags last week as well as down to Ashburton Craftmongers to sit perfectly alongside some of their newly found French treasures! 🥐

The rest of our garlic now will be heading out to our fabulously talented chefs and restaurants.
