Rocking the winter coat!

The flock are embracing their winter coats as the weather has changed recently – but no snow here quite yet.

However, there’s no time for a haircut at the moment! It’s busy busy busy at the Marriner Farm. All of the ewes have been separated according to the number of lambs they are carrying, so we can ensure they are all getting enough food and shelter to grow happy and healthy little lambs.

Even the rams have been on the move – relocated to pastures new to give the ladies the room (and peace and quiet!) they need at the moment. They will be reacquainted once more come November time

We’ll be keeping a close eye on the ladies over the next few weeks as the lambing approaches – we can’t wait to introduce you even more of the sweet little guys!

#MarrinerLoveofFood winner

February arrived with the promise of spring not far away – and of course, love in the air – not to mention, food… Valentine’s treats, pancake day, and let’s face it, all of the Easter treats are already sitting proudly in the shops. We thought why not combine the two?

Without further ado…

The lambs are now around 7 months old, and no longer the tiny little things we once knew back in the spring. They’re still lively, sprightly and cheeky, but now all grown up. Because of this, at the end of the summer it was time to separate them into a different field to give their mums a chance to rest and recover.

While the lambs are no longer dependent on the milk from their mother, they will still take milk as and when they want to – and given that they are no longer the…
