Spring on the Farm
Jacob lamb at Huxtable Farm B&B, Devon
If the hens decide to go broody during March we will endeavour to have some chicks hatching around Easter
This is a beautiful time of year, when the snowdrops are out followed by sunshine, yellow daffodils and primroses. The birds are busy preparing their nests and deer, both roe and Exmoor red can be seen grazing in the woodland, whilst hares can be spotted in the grass.

Summer on the Farm
Lets hope the sun shines in June, July & August as it’s the time to make hay and/or silage. Enjoy long sunny days with time on the sandy beaches, Saunton and Woolacombe or a picnic on the farm by the pond and watch glorious sunsets. During these months time is spent picking the ripe fruit in the garden & making delicious fruit & sugar jam (no other additives) for the breakfast table and for purchasing from the shop.
