Our Farm Diary

Ok, so it's a little under the first year since the #willow cuttings went into the ground but it feels like the right time to blog about our progress so far as we reach the end of the first season. If you've followed our social media accounts (and if not, why not?!) you might have seen that back in march we set about planting over 300 willow cuttings in one of our tops fields.

It's no secret that as autumn and winter set in, many people feel mixed emotions ranging from fatigue and lack of energy to full blown sadness. In this post we've included five easy ways to help cope as the nights draw in. If we look at the principles of slow, seasonal living, we're encouraged to embrace the longer nights as a time of reflection, self care, creativity and most importantly, as a time of reset. Many people don't realise it, but during the spring and summer, the
