November 23, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Well we are well into November now and, while many of the shops have been stocking Christmas for months now, the season is creeping up on us here at the farm. We have endured weeks of renovations and decorating which I am sure I will be sharing with you at some point but do keep … [Read more…]

When Farm Kitchens and Workshops Collide

November 20, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

A lot of the equipment used for farming can be found around any home. Especially if you have an industrious farmer who sees the use in anything and everything. Farming families across the land will tell you tales of implements being used to thicken lumpy gravy in the kitchen one minute and then taken out … [Read more…]

The 5 Different Levels of Farm Mud

November 12, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Mud. Its brown and muddy, right? Well I suppose that is correct but it is only on a farm where you can categorise it into different types. I was thinking about the different types recently and giggling to myself so I thought I would share some with you. Forget 50 shades of Grey. This is … [Read more…]

Metal Detecting on the Farm

November 7, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

Every day is different at the farm and it is this which I really love about living here. A man has come metal detecting for years-long before I came here and I love listening to his stories of what he has found. Recently, he came and asked if he could look in the front field-the … [Read more…]

How To Keep A Farmhouse Clean

November 5, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I am not the tidiest person you will ever meet. I have always had little piles of stuff dotted around. It used to drive my mum mad when I lived at home. Now with a large farmhouse and three children, there are times that I struggle. I don’t ever say I am perfect at anything … [Read more…]

The Tractor Ted Soft Toy-A Review

October 31, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

There is a new tractor at the farm and we are prepared to have some big adventures with him. One of the big problems with my little farm boys is when they want to inevitably go to bed with their toy tractor. I dread such nights because I know I will be getting up to … [Read more…]

How to Attract Pollinators into Your Garden

October 29, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

It’s not just your garden that needs pollinators, it’s the world as a whole! Without pollinators – and that actually includes wasps – there’d be far fewer fruits and vegetables and the food chain would be in serious danger. When bees scope out your garden, they’re looking for two things: Nectar, as it’s full of … [Read more…]

A Halloween Treasure Hunt at the Farm

October 29, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

I toyed with calling this post ‘how to participate in Halloween when you have no neighbours’ because really, that is the reason for this activity. I don’t agree with trick or treating anyway so I decided this year to turn it on its head. If you can have an Easter egg hunt, why not a … [Read more…]

Pumpkins, Provenance and Price-Why You Should Head to a Farm for Your Food

October 24, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I read a post in a blogging group recently about supermarkets selling pumpkins and squashes for as little as 39p. The bloggers were innocently sharing this just in case anyone wanted a few for props for their Instagram feeds and blog posts. I am as excited as the next blogger about cute things to put … [Read more…]

Why Do Sheep Get Sheared?

October 10, 2018 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We shear our sheep once a year, usually in June or July. Our main flock are mules which are a commercial crossbreed bred for meat and wool. Despite what some people think, we do not breed sheep for their wool. It is purely a welfare issue which I will go into further in a moment. … [Read more…]
