Bunny babies and Silkies

February 20, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

  I feel as if I haven’t updated you on the petting zoo recently and it’s moved up a gear in the last couple of weeks. I can just smell spring and spring to me means babies. The sheep are fattening up ready to produce little lambs (just for me) and, after several weeks of … [Read more…]

Chicken escapades

February 19, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 9 Comments

It’s never a dull moment here. Today, after a lot of nagging gentle persuasion, Hubster has moved my big chicken coop from the front field to the garden. It has been like walking in quick sand what with all the mud in the front field and Minty, the pet lamb who is he-sheep sized now, … [Read more…]

Impatient to Grow My Own

February 18, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 8 Comments

It’s official. I am done with winter. Is it me or do our summers get shorter and shorter? You see, this year I have plans. We might live on a farm but no crops are grown here. It is all livestock so this year I am going to try to grow my own. I have … [Read more…]

Giving ex-commercial hens a fresh start

February 15, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 4 Comments

How do you like your eggs in the morning? According to Egg Info (http://www.egginfo.co.uk/) who are behind the British Lion Mark, in Britain, we consumed 11.5 million eggs in 2013. I would say this was a conservative estimate as it doesn’t include the ones laid by garden hens. I think it does show that we … [Read more…]

Mad Blog Awards 2014

February 12, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 5 Comments

I don’t know if it’s a British thing, but I for one do not like to blow my own trumpet. I don’t even like telling people if I’m happy with something. I can just about talk about my daughter’s achievements but even this doesn’t sit comfortably with me. So when I found out about the … [Read more…]

Living the outdoor life

February 11, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 7 Comments

Since Boo was a tiny baby, I quickly understood the importance of fresh air. The days I took her out in her pram, she slept better at night. Fast forward to the toddler years and it still stands. Thankfully we live on a farm now (we didn’t when she was born) so there is fresh … [Read more…]

Harringtons Pet food-the natural choice for the pooch in your life

January 27, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Living on a farm, we have a LOT of animals. From the livestock to our long list of pets, we are always buying animal feed. So when the lovely people at Harringtons, the natural choice, offered me the chance to review some dog food, I jumped at the chance. My first tester was Rosie our … [Read more…]

An open letter to Mr Fox and all your associates

January 25, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

Dear Mr Fox,   You have visited us too many times over the past few years. We have spent hundreds of pounds on birds that have either ended up in your horrible stomach or left dead in the coop and the field. I have cried many, many tears over the carnage you have left and … [Read more…]

My life as a farmer’s wife

January 14, 2014 by farmerswifeandmummy 10 Comments

A lot of people ask me what it’s like to be a farmer’s wife. It is a very different life to what I was used to before. I can’t speak for all farmer’s wives as I suppose everyone is different but I thought I’d explain what happens in our world. My husband gets up and … [Read more…]
