Hi North Dorset Smallholders.

So this Saturday should be the first North Dorset Smallholders meet up at mine in Stourton Caundle.

Who is still on for this?.  I was thinking about 2pm for an hour or so.  This way we will have done all our morning jobs and you can have a coffee and a piece of cake at mine.

No worries is everyone is busy, but thought I would refresh everyones memory in case you still want to meet up.

Speak soon

Would LOVED to have come, but alas have to work now. Have a piece of cake on my behalf ;D
We'll turn the dust to soil,
Turn the rust of hate back into passion.
It's not water into wine
But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.


Bring the peace back

Hi Steph,
Hope all is well with your lot. 
Had a lambing disaster this week  :'( :'( and I'm still reeeling from the loss of my best ewe (planned to show this year).  Now having a confidence crisis :-\ and I am bottle feeding her orphan.  Will be in touch nearer Saturday when I know how things stand  :fc:

Hi all

No worries Colliewoman, maybe next time. x
Hope to maybe see Fifxx and feldar if we arn't snowed in by then  :gloomy: .

Sorry to hear you are having lambing woes Bramblecot.  It sound like you are having a rough time.

If anyone does not have my address, just send me a pm and I will be home Saturday, so, see you if you can make it.

Take Care

I know it has been a very long time since this topic was posted but I just want to find out if a North Dorset Smallholders group was ever set up. We moved into the area last year (between Gillingham and Stalbridge). I will also try posting this as a new topic - not sure which is best

Hi Digby


We did have a little meet up at mine, but then we didn't really follow on with anything afterwards.


We have been having discussions recently about trying to set up a North Dorset Group. I will post a link to the discussion in a minute.


Guess we just need to bite the bullet and suggest a place, date and time and see how many turn up.


i would love to make new smallholding friends. x
