Hi from Dorset
« on: August 14, 2012, 01:55:04 pm »
Hi, I'm new around here - I'm a Devon lass in Dorset. 
Always grown up around farming.  Our smallholding is 20 acres and we do a mix of goats and chickens as well as growing vegetables for our own table (nothing like fresh veg!  ;)) Oh and not to forget the horses, love to ride but rarely seem to get time around the farm, business and children!!)
Look forward to chatting with everyone  :)

 :wave:  Hello from a very sunny :sunshine: Yorkshire.  Too hot to work outdoors today especially in the polytunnel.  Couldn't agree more about the fresh veg - just popped a pea pod as I write.  SheepishSophie -persevere with the veg growing, you'll get there in the end and it is so satisfying when you do.  :thumbsup:

Hello from Worcestershire  :wave:


I think we've finally cracked the veggie growing this year  :fc:   as I type we have a curry bubbling away with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, runner beans and peas from our garden (oh and a tin of chick peas!) and a pan which contains milk that I hope is turning into goats cheese. It is lovely being able to turn a plot of land into something productive, very satisfying!

 :wave:  Hi and welcome from  :sunshine:  Shropshire.  What sort of goats do you have?  Mine are a Sanaan, her Sanaan x BA son (soon to be meat) and a Sanaan x Boer.
