Hello from the Dengie, Essex

Evening all.

Time to introduce ourselves and stop lurking!

Thanks to our fantastic landlord we now have an acre of land next door to our cottage. The key 'development' within it will be the addition of a 'small' hop-yard for our micro-brewery (Wibblers.)

To complement this we're planning veggie patch, fruit cage, additional space for our chickens and a few piggies to cultivate it all for us.

Welcome from the north of England   :wave:

So whereabouts are you - I'm guessing too far for me to call in for a glass of Wibblers finest!?
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Hi there and welcome from Worcestershire - just on the Herefordshire borders.  Hops are part of my childhood so look forward to hearing about yours and your brewery

All the best

Welcome from France.  We have pigs, they can be very addictive.
