Autumn 2024
This year of weird and unpredictable weather continues. The rains keep coming just when we are needing to get our Autumn-sown crops planted.
The sheep undergo all sorts of health checks after last year's poor scanning results and the rams have a VERY thorough check up before they get to work! The barns turn out to be a fantastic conference and learning space and John is made Fellow of the Council for Awards of Royal Agricultural Societies. Finally the God of good weather sends us a freaky, lovely weather window and we are able to get all the crops we need to sown.

Harvest 2024 From Shimpling
มุมมอง 3.1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Well with the wettest winter on record, the crops were always going to struggle. And they did not disappoint! However, our magnificent team at Shimpling Park Farm had a hot sunny interrupted run at getting the crops in. Across the farm, they worked tirelessly to process what Harvest 2024 threw at us and used every opportunity to make a head start for a record breaking Harvest 2025!

It's been an extraordinary farming year so far! Rain, rain and more rain. But the lambs are born calmly, the wonderful team battle to get on the fields as it never really drys enough. But they do manage to get the spring crops planted, if a little late. The weeds grow like triffids but they are pulled or chopped at every available opportunity. When the sun does come out we make a new plan for w...
Shocking Spring 2024 at Shimpling Park Farm
มุมมอง 1K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
A very strange spring indeed! Rain, rain and more rain. We were still struggling to get crops planted that were meant to get planted in the Autumn let alone the planned spring sown ones. The Lamb scanning results were a depressing mystery which we may just have to put down to the wet weather. But on the up side, we visited some African farmers to see where all that out of season fresh veg in th...

An Autumn of two halves! Starting well, the drilling got underway and a terrific crop of haylege was made by Sam Duschesne. But then Strom Babet came and bought unprecedented rain that just never stopped! Jo goes shopping for new rams who get to work speedily. The farm barn hosts the PFLA, Wildfarmed, Wooltowns cluster and most importantly the farm wedding of Connie and Charles Cole. Alice mana...

After last year's drought, Joe the shepherd is determined to understand exactly how much grass we have got for the winter so has started measuring every bit of forage growth to make a winter feed budget. The rain makes a shaky start to harvest but we have got some new tractors to distract us, and when the sun comes out we are finally off and away in amongst the showers. The team put in extremel...
Spring at its best! April to June 2023

Wet, dry, wet dry - it was a changeable late spring but the outdoor lambing went well and the crops grew nicely. An organic pioneering farmer was crowned king of England and John went on tour to Scotland to try and understand why his ancestors had moved to farm in East Anglia.
Stunning Spring 2023

Cold winters are good for organic farming and It was a madly dry February so we cracked on with the sowing early. Good shout because it rained for the pretty for much the whole of March! The sheep have scanned and are carrying fewer lambs than previous years due to last year's drought but the lambing has just started and it's going well! The ever optimistic John Pawsey is preparing for the most...

A fantastically dry start to the Autumn meant all the sowing got done in great soil conditions. Lots of long days and nights and we put lots of new tractors through their paces. Rufus has started the new drone monitoring of our crop trials and we host a farming technology conference where robots were all around!

Hot Dry Harvest 2022 at Shimpling Park Farm
มุมมอง 1.8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Its been an historically dry and hot harvest. The grain harvest has been early, fast and furious . The sheep are thirsty and already eating extra forage. The fuel prices are rising. But the farming year is already looking to next year and the new rams have been bought, the organic inspection has taken place and the bi-annual sheep show has bought all things sheep into focus.

The Queen has been on the throne for 70 years, but the sheep don't seem to notice..they just keep eating! Tommy and lots of other visitors - old and young - have come to visit the farm to have fun. We head off to Groundswell to talk all things "regenerative agriculture" and we have a great new shepherd. Its getting hotter and harvest is drawing near. The combine is ready!

And it's lambing time at Shimpling. Its also the time to plant some rather unusual crops and to plant the clover that will grow underneath the grain crops to become next year's fertility building crop. There are loads of visitors to the farm from children to farmers to writers to bird watchers and we got some inspiration from Uzbekistan for our lamb recipes.

It's two years since we started these video diaries from the farm. Two full harvests have passed and we have really enjoyed the conversation with our friends, neighbours and students near and far. Thank you for your feedback. Onwards on a busy farm and March is upon us with gales, rain, heatwave and snow. The Spring sown crops are finally in the ground and the sheep are getting ready for lambing.

Storm Eunice hit the farm and our team turned into tree surgeons and road clearers. Wheat and barley are leaving the farm to make bread, animal feed and beer. John sets off around the South West to talk about "sustainable" farming methods and how the Brave New World of farming might look.

Its busy here at Shimpling even in the winter. Rams have done their work and are resting. The Ewes are being scanned. The winter tree work is well underway and we are having to control the deer who are feasting on our new trees.
