Just as we thought that Spring was at last here we are now forecast a sharp frost tonight. Hopefully this will be the last of the season and we can now look ahead to a lovely summer. We certainly deserve one after the sharp winter! It has been a long time since we had proper snow and at least it gave me the opportunity to get out and take some stunning photos of the farm deep in snow.
Our Guinea Fowl are settling in nicely, getting used to their new home and we are looking forward to trying Guinea fowl eggs when they soon start laying.
Next month we have some exciting developments at Broadgate Farm – we are putting in a new Ground Source Heat Pump system that will provide heat and hot water to all of our cottages. We don’t claim to be super green but we are trying to reduce our carbon footprint where we can.
