New projects for this year

During the winter months we're planning future projects to continue developing the business.

1. The continuation of the mutton project we will be selling at more markets and increasing our flock. As a result of this I have decided to buy and train our own sheepdog, not absolutely necessary with our small flock but it is something I have wanted to do for a long time.

2. Continue to develop the training courses we offer, eventually with accommodation.

3. Bed and Breakfast, this has been part of the plan for a long time but we still need to improve the decoration in the house before we invite paying guests. 10 years to paint the walls since the re-plastering isn't too bad is it.

4. Increase the bees to over 100 colonies (including nucs) this year and develop the market for honey.

5. Finally to provide space for all the above projects we are investigating building a Straw Bale barn on our field, for workshop space and animal housing.


These are all long term projects but we hope to see progress on all of them in the coming 12 months.
