We had a very special visitor today, this is Harry We had a very special visitor today, this is Harry Harry is a Comtois which is a French breed of draft horse similar to ours Suffolk Punch.
#Harry and his owner came to give us a demonstration of the logging skills. Obviously nowadays we tend to thin out Woodland and chopped down trees that are old and dying so that new trees can come through but we use very heavy machinery for this. 
In the old days, they use horses such  as Harry and although it obviously was slower, it’s much better for the environment and the wildlife. 
So we would like to use Harry on some of our protected woodland and areas that we know that we have certain nesting birds, so we have a low impact as possible whilst keeping our woodland  healthy. 
We also hope to be able to do some demonstrations for guests , so that everyone can meet the gorgeous Harry ❤️

We have not had our own sheep at Notgrove for some We have not had our own sheep at Notgrove for some years now. 

Farmer Iain decided to change this and has gone and spent more money buying 400 sheep! 

These sheep will run alongside our arable farming - they are brilliant lawn mowers and will mean less spraying and therefore better farming ❤️❤️ 

We look forward to spring and our first Notgrove lambs 🐑

It’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it! 🫣

Farmer Iain and his team are busy muck spreading - this is when we put organic matter onto the fields and is a way of getting vital nutrients back into the soil 🧑‍🌾

We had some help this year from @kaleb_cooper_contracting_ltd 

Next step will be drilling in next years crops 🌾
