Title: Bill Quay Farm video
Post by: SallyintNorth on July 28, 2015, 11:32:36 am

Bill Quay Community Farm, an RBST Approved Farm Park near Gateshead, has released this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYBbDhMhyXE) - nice shots of Large Black pigs, Bagot Goats, Jacob and Hebridean sheep - didn't spot a Castlemilk Moorit but they have them too.  AndTamworth pigs.

Government funding is being withdrawn and they've been campaigning to raise £50,000 to enable them to continue.  They've raised £10,000 so far. 

If you can help them to continue their excellent work, by spreading the word, by donating or in any other way, please do!

Their website is here (http://www.billquayfarm.org.uk/), they have a Facebook page here (https://www.facebook.com/BillQuayFarm?fref=nf) (and there are pics of Castlemilk Moorits there ;)) or you can go straight to their Just Giving page here (https://www.justgiving.com/bill-quay-farm/)

I should have mentioned, they have Rare Breed Poultry too!  (Sadly none of them in the video either.)

Sad to see a lot of these farms closing due to lack of funding.
