Reflecting on Farming Legacies and their Realities

October 8, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy 1 Comment

So, ages ago I wrote a post about farming being similar to royalty. It was a tongue-in-cheek piece about heirs and inheritance. Lately though I’ve been thinking of it more seriously. I imagine in most farming families, there are eager children who are desperate to become ‘the farmer’. Do their own thing, explore new ideas, … [Read more…]

Farm Life, September 2020

September 22, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Most months when I write the Farm life series, I write a similar thing ‘I didn’t think anything had happened until I looked back at the photos’. This month it is true. The farm has been quiet. Straw dragged on and on and on. It was the latest finish I have ever known. Since being … [Read more…]

Remember the Farming Heroes of Covid-19

July 28, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

During the peak of Covid-19 in the UK, the news mainly focussed on farming with headlines about dairy farmers dumping massive quantities of milk, empty supermarket shelves and vegetable crops rotting in fields. While all of these things happened, there are a few areas of British agriculture which thrived and I think they deserve recognition … [Read more…]

As predicted, July on the farm has been mainly abut field work. It’s not been cut and dry though, literally. You need a good dry period with hot sunshine to make hay and the sun, when it does make an appearance, doesn’t seem to be very hot. Nevertheless, hay and haylage has been made and … [Read more…]

Wow what a month on the farm. If you remember in the May Farm Life, I said we had finished lambing and I was very pleased with my one Ryeland lamb. Well, nature has a habit of surprising you and imagine how surprised I was when the farmer beckoned me to the front field one … [Read more…]

Hens Are For Life Not Just For Lockdown

June 1, 2020 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Food insecurity, a shortage of eggs, hens being also in short supply and, the ones that you manage to get are only available at massive inflated prices. These are thing that have all happened since lockdown from Covid-19 in the UK and I admit, I am worried for the welfare of some hens. The amount … [Read more…]

Another month in lockdown on the farm and we have not been resting. On the veg patch, the green beans were casualties of the late frost but everything else seems to be growing well and the long awaited greenhouse is on its way. One of the farm vehicles needed new tyres (an expensive job) and … [Read more…]
