🦙🐑 Full Alpaca (raw) fleeces and Romney/Suffolk x sheep (raw) fleeces available 🐑🦙

Following a busy week of shearing, we have several sheep and alpaca fleeces available.

Raw sheep fleece (1st pic) is great in the bottom of pots/planters, as sheep fleece naturally retains moisture, which is good for plants. It also offers great protection for plants and soil against the weather, both hot and cold. If treated, the fleece is good for spinning, crafts, weaving.

The ‘Blanket’ is the term used to describe the fleece from the body of an alpaca, which is the finest part of the animal and contains the best fleece. This is premium fibre and the fleece is very soft to handle. Often used for spinning, felting, arts and crafts. Once spun it can be used for crochet, knitting, weaving, and rug making. We have a range of colours available:
- 1x dark brown
- 1x medium fawn
- 2x beige
- 5x white

💷 Full alpaca (blanket-cut) fleeces = £30 each 💷

💷40L bag of sheep fleece = £5 each 💷

🐓 Lets talk about ex-battery hens 🐓

Picture 1 - is of one of our brand new ex-battery hens, that we rescued last weekend. After an initial homing period, the hens have now been released out into the paddock, with the other hens, to free roam all day long. They come to us in rather poor condition- feathers plucked out from sheer boredom and stress, due to spending their lives in a cage smaller than an A4 piece of paper; dull colourless combs and features; sore skin; unhealthy beaks.

Picture 2 - is one of our OG ex-battery hens, who we rescued last summer, and after spending nearly a year here on the farm, in our care, free roaming with the alpacas and sheep, has now become beautiful, full and bright, growing all of her feather back, a glimmering red comb and features and a hunger for adventure 🥳

The transformation really is incredible. We are so lucky to get to give these lovely hens such a brilliant second chance at experiencing life ❤️

British Hen Welfare Trust do an amazing job - if you have some room in your heart and your garden, please consider rehoming some hens! You won't regret it!

Today we hosted a very successful Kids’ Club, in which all of the children got stuck in with poo picking, grooming and feeding the animals 🦙💩🥕🪮

It was annual shearing day for the alpacas 🦙✂️

The boys look almost unrecognisable without their thick fleece and long fringes, but will be a lot cooler for the summer 🥰☀️

On Wednesday, we had the pleasures of hosting a countryside farm visit, to one of our local primary schools ☀️👩‍🏫

The children learnt about farming, conservation and food production, using the land as a classroom, getting hands on and taking part in lots of fun farm-themed activities 🧑‍🌾🦙

If this is something your class/school may be interested in, free of charge, please get in touch with us: [email protected] for more information 😊
