This time of year there are rich pickings around Dalefoot Farm. Jane, Lizzi and Juliet enjoyed a lovely afternoon of foraging with Mabel the dog and these were the highlights. Foraging is a beautiful way of connecting with the world around you, and getting some free,food!

You're not seeing double, these are our Tups and they are excited to get their annual meeting with the ewes. We call this ā€œtuppingā€. The harsh weather on the fells in early spring is not ideal for lambs, so we time it so that they come a little later here! #tups #tupping

Soil is the foundation of life. Yesterday was World Soil Day, so we reflect on the importance of protecting and restoring our planet’s soils—particularly peat bogs, one of Earth’s most vital ecosystems. We are so proud of our work to restore these magical places šŸ’š
