About Me

Hello from the Brownes. We're a family run farm in rural Aylsham. Our farm is home to Robins Rare Breed Oxford Sandy and Black pigs which we breed for their lovely meat (said to be the best tasting meat out of all rare breed pigs) The Farm is also home to Robin & Beckie's Boer Goats bred for their high quality healthy meat low in cholesterol and high in protien) We're also trying to increase the quanity of our very good quailty stock to help improve bloodlines through the country. Jackies Anglo Nubian goats, kept for both their meat, which is incredibly healthy for you and their milk which we're planning to make cheese, icecream, soap, moisturiser and a probiotic drink with. We also keep a few chickens, some traditonal breeds as well as hybrids and some Muscovy ducks for their free range eggs as well as David having arable land to produce home grown cereals for our animals. We also have 3 holiday cottages alongside the farm. These are run by Jackie and Hayley. All visitors have acess to our private section of the river Bure. We'd like to share the farm experience with visitors to Bure Valley Farm and those following our blog. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Week 3

So there's not really been that much happen this week but best write a post anyway.

Monday: Jackie and Hayley cleaned out a cottage for the Irish workers we have staying at the moment.
Tuesday: David and Kody chopped up some more wood to keep us all warm.
Wednesday: David and Jackie went to the Lamma Agricultural Show in Lincolnshire. David tries to go every year. Kody and Hayley were left in chrage again.
Thursday: Our pigs, Primrose and Iris, were finally moved back down to their origional home in the woods. They seem so much happier already. So lovely to see! David, Kody and Hayley then started mucking out their temporary housing.
Friday: David and Kody finished cleaning up the pigs temporary housing. Fabion and Lucy, two of our goats, have been bullying the others so they've now been moved. We're not quite sure what we should do with them now.
Saturday: David and Kody did some tidying up around the farm.
Sunday: We're all having a bit of a lazy day today but obviously there's jobs that still need doing, like collecting eggs and keeping an eye on the shop.

Happily back home:
