We recently boosted our mixed poultry flock by adopting 20 ex-battery hens from the British Hen Welfare Trust, a wonderful charity that has been re-homing hens since 2005.

The extremely durable, cellular clad greenhouse is divided into several distinct areas, whose temperatures and humidity can all be carefully controlled and monitored depending on the species being grown. Three tonnes of home-grown compost provided top dressing for the beds. Vegetables and salad plants are prioritised with a view to prolong their growing season. Bedding plants and flowers are also grown for the farm as well as neighbouring estates. Jon is hoping that any excess plants can be sold locally alongside the Fir Farm milk. Next to the greenhouse, a standing out area provides space for young saplings to acclimatise.
