Good afternoon,
The autumn calving has begun and they are coming in thick & fast with 8 being born yesterday. We’ve almost finished carting bales back to the yard, with just another 100 to collect next week before the shed is completely full, setting us up nicely for the winter.
Andrew is mole ploughing this afternoon, which helps drain the fields of excess water by creating a channel for the heavy rains to flow through. The rainfall over the last year is an unsettling sign of things to come and we’re taking precautions when we can.
We’ve just harvested our barley & pea crop that went in this spring, and the yield was thankfully much better than expected. And, we’re repairing the the shed floors in the yard this week, to make them a happier home for hooves for when the herd come back this winter.
Farm tours & tastings
We’re about to start hosting our farm tours & cider tastings and we’d love you to join us.
Andrew will take you on a walk around the farm to learn about regenerative agriculture, and then you’ll come back to the yard for a cider tasting with me, and we will send you home with some bottles to enjoy.

Burgers are back
Yesterday was National Burger Day and we’re celebrating in the best way we know how - with the return of our burger boys to the yard tomorrow.
A Flour Pot brioche bun, Trenchmore wagyu beef, Weald Smokery cheese, Tynfield Farm bacon & the 3Bros famous burger sauce - it is absolute burger magic.
The forecast is wet but we have plenty of sheltered seating in the Cyder Shack & barns. You can book online or just pop along from 11am.
Apple swapping
Our own crop is looking pretty sad this year so we’d really appreciate your help spreading the word to get as many apples at our swap as possible.
11am - 4pm -
21st & 28th September
5th, 12th & 19th October
The 3Bros will be serving burgers so there really is no excuse not to pick & pilfer any apples you can, and take something delicious home with you.
