Good evening,
With the fine weather we’ve been busy spreading farmyard muck on our fields and tinkering with our compost tea this week.
We have almost finished the spring calving and hope to move everyone outside over the next week or so. After putting the first couple of groups out in March, we held the rest back because the grass growth has been slow thanks to the chilly nights. We don’t want to risk overgrazing before things have even really begun. Our apple trees have not yet broken bud either, which is a good reminder to exercise some patience.
Nuthurst lambing is very much underway - Rosie has had 90 newborns so far and there are still 26 to go. Hanging out with day-old lambs is undoubtedly the most glorious of April activities.
To celebrate the Easter weekend, Rosie has processed a couple of last year’s lambs for us and we have lamb boxes available to pick up this weekend. If you’d like to eat locally grown, grass fed and lovingly looked after meat, plus support a young female farmer then you can order a Nuthurst box via our website and be sure of an utterly delicious Easter weekend. We also have Sussex Wagyu beef available to collect on Saturday. The Moo Tap will be open from 11-4pm.
