Quarry Wood Farm

Good food, produced with care and in partnership with nature.

Spring honey harvest, spin the frames and return to the bees, strain out lumps of wax and put it in jars - simple, natural food full of flavour. ⁦@AnneDanbyPeach⁩

This looks like a great product - lower value sheep wool to pack our collie’s insulin. Padding and insulation, fantastic. @AnneDanbyPeach may use it to insulate a beehive for the winter.

Lovely day to vaccinate the ewes, and to collect some specimens for a botany practical tomorrow.

@Debbie1Alston Thanks for sharing this, it shows the importance of stocking densities and timing depending on the habitat you want to encourage. Often management prescriptions are too broad brush. Love seeing what comes out of our seed bank each year on the farm!

Field forage substitutes for our locked down chickens - grain, grit, grubs and greenery. Hope they can come out soon, the rooks and wagtails are getting all the drowned worms! @AnneDanbyPeach

The “Ow!” at the end is where one of the girls bumped George. I view them from inside the greenhouse when I am not suited up @AnneDanbyPeach
