🌟 BUSINESS GOLD AWARD 🌟
A massive thankyou to @fooddrinkdevon for our business gold award this year!
.
We are all feeling very proud of the work we have been doing, in a truly roller-coaster year, to keep our school going, for the fantastic children we work with.
.
As well as working with and on the land, growing incredible produce and continuing our long standing goals to restore and nurture the land around us, and pass that knowledge and experience onto others.
.
Our courses, events and produce all go to support the young people we work with daily and any and all support is massively appreciated and valued.

A huge thankyou from all the team here at The Husbandry School! 🌟

Yesterday we took our students out foraging for autumn coloured leaves, seeds and flowers to create our own flower pressed 'stained glass' window hangings!
🍁
It was such a fantastic way to watch how the seasons change through the year, and get out for some fresh air on a lovely warm November day!

Our lovely little flock have been enjoying the fruits of our students work, as they bathe and snack out in their new dust bath. Helping to naturally keep pests and mites at bay and keeping our cheeky chicks entertained!
These are some very spoilt ladies and gentlemen.

Our students have returned to us last week after a very long summer! We have been busy felting, finding beautiful natural dyes and paints from the land and clay pinch pots ready for firing.
It feels wonderful to have the hill buzzing with community again.

Yesterday the combine harvester could be heard all over the hill, as it collected our feild of oats. Today they were sent off to the mill in Dartington to be turned into our very own Husbandry School flour! Is there anything lovelier? Truly a harvest to be grateful for all year round.

The success of our grapes this summer made a real buzz in the local wasp community! 🐝
Valient growers Esme and Liam donned beesuits and braved the swarm to be able to safely harvest all the fruity delights. 🍇
