New arrivals on farm

We have just purchased some silkies (chickens) they are lovely :)
Had to move mum and baby chicks into another ark to make room but they are settling in just fine

Farm2grow now officially an accredited learning centre

Brilliant news:

I went to Wolverhampton this week to welcome meeting for OCN accreditation.

We can now deliver OCN and NOCN qualifications watch this space for courses planned for next year

Thanks to all who helped prepare the documents and get us ready for the inspection visit, a special thanks to Liz for the templates and Emily for the prep work and policy updates.
