Hello there,

Just signed up to the forum and hope to share some and learn lots from the groups. We have 10 acres (quite damp but productive land) in South Devon with a couple of horses, large veg area, soft and top fruit, chickens and a couple of fattening turkeys (called Christmas Day and New Years Day). We run a very modest veg box scheme for friends. Next steps may include a few store lambs and a couple of weaners but I have a lot to learn.

South Devon.

Well hello from mid-Devon! We've got about 8 acres, and started smallholding almost three years ago.... and still learning loads every day! We brought our own cats, introduced chickens, and now have a small flock of sheep, and raise a few weaners each year.... Wouldn't swap any of it for the world! Enjoy.

and welcome from sunny Shropshire. Love the names of your turkeys. I had a goat called Curry and very tasty he was too.

Hi there,

We're between Ashburton and Totnes - Landscove. Just next door to Riverford Farm. I reckon if they can grow fantastic tasty veg then I stand a chance!
