About Me

My photo
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 4

We actually went a week without any new arrivals. Not too much happened again this week so we may have to start writing blogs as things happen.

Monday: David and Kody altered some of the chicken runs to make them a bit more secure.
Tuesday: Jackie and David picked up a big order of animal feed to help keep all the animals happy and healthy.
Wednesday: David, Kody and Robin started clearing one of our ditches, while Jackie and Hayley made marmalade.
Thursday: David continued with clearing the ditch, while Kody started mucking out one of the chicken huts. We had a visit from a man about getting a new straw burning boiler. Touch wood, we'll have better luck with this one.
Friday: The men continued with the clearing of the ditch and the mucking out of the chicken run. We managed to find a new home for all our 2 year oldk brown hens and today they left to make room for the new pullets.
Saturday: We all had errands to do today so not a lot was done on the farm. An extra large egg was collected from our pure breed hens today. Jackie cracked it open to make panacakes and found a triple yolker! We looked it up and apprently you're more likely to win the lottery.
Sunday: Today the weather isn't very nice so we probably wont be getting much done. Oh well, it is Sunday afterall.

Look at these 3 lovely, golden yolks:
