ABOUT THE FARM HOLDING

Barbara farms a small holding where they produce much of their own vegetables, fruit, eggs, and meat in a sustainable way.  There are many animals including two collie dogs, cats, cows, calves a sheep, lambs and a donkey.   There is also a small woodland area.

All the food on the farm is produced organically.  Each day begins by feeding the animals and picking the eggs for the breakfast; then it’s time to get get started on the various jobs like planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting.

Barbara is a qualified Reflexologist and does Indian Head Massage and Reiki.
