Last few turkeys left so don't miss out on the chance to have the very finest Christmas feast and support a small local family farm and its wildlife at the same time.

The best thing about using an old ice cream freezer to sell beef is the look of disappointment on the children's faces when they run up to it and pull out a brisket or topside 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ElizabethIvens I appreciate my picture is available through getty and on file as a "turkey farmer" but I'm disappointed you chose to use it when I, my farm and my birds are nothing to do with the vaccine trial. Would it be possible to swap the image

Having finished our latest coppice harvesting contract today on the Cambs/Bedfordshire border, I thought I would put together a series of short videos to explain the work in more detail and explain why woodland management is so important.

@ThrimbyFarms absolutely love our TM 220, mainly because its exactly the same size as the much loved old matbro. Never used it on a scraper. We also have a similar size non pivot kramer - very maneuverable but moves in a weird way if your used to a pivot and joystick not as refined as JCB

@FavColour_Green My finding with mulch is go big! 10cm minimum or deeper if plants are in guards. Composted raminal chip perhaps gives an instant blast of microbiology to the new plant
