Now that restrictions are easing, and the looming spectre of COVID-19 isn’t quite as large as it was not-so-long-ago, we’re making some minor changes around the farm.
You might’ve seen recently that we’re now hosting farm tours again. On these farm tours, Ruairi only has a maximum of nine guests, and strictly enforces social distancing.
Ruairi will also be opening gates on the tours (to limit people touching different surfaces) and thoroughly cleaning mugs between tours.
For those of you who haven’t met Ruairi, he’s been running tours for the last couple of years here at the farm. He’s fantastic with our animals, as well as visiting families and couples alike.
If you currently receive an organic vegetable box, you’re welcome to come along to one of our farm tours for free. Just remember to get in touch well beforehand because there are limited spaces 🙂
And if you’re not able to make it in person, we attempted to run an online farm tour. It’s not the same experience, but maybe we get some points for effort.
Other changes
We’ve had some strange weather over the last few weeks, and we’re not really sure what to expect other than a “wet winter”.
Soon we’ll open up our farm stay accommodation, and make some minor tweaks with our vegetable boxes (going back to our crates and washing them down and sanitising each week).
In the meantime, here are some photos from around the farm 🙂
It’s brisk in the morning, but there are some benefits. 
Sheep enjoying one of our more pleasant days. Martin and Petie helping plant some of our natives at the front of the property. Chooks enjoying the sunny weather. 
Frosty mornings, and the lettuce is a little crunchy. Not good crunchy though. Deluged we found gumboots are needed already… Chilli Our garlic. Pre onion-grass removal. Assistance comes in all shapes and sizes.
