November at the farm so far…

The dark nights have arrived and we are now entering the beginnings of winter! The farm looks spectacular at this time of the year... We would like to say a huge thank you to the employees from N Power who joined us last week and the employees from Jaguar Landrover who have given their time to the farm over the last three days.

We have been very fortunate and Solihull Lions have kindly donated £680 for us to build the aviary and fill it full of birds! We are looking to fill the aviary with either budgies or zebra finches and canaries! The choice lies with the project workers who are yet to vote on it!

RSA come to the farm!

Yet another busy week at the farm! A group of employees from RSA joined us for the day  on Wednesday to help us with some jobs that we often don't get time to do. They decided that they would give our pool room and toilets a much-needed lick of paint! The toilets are now nice and bright and look new again! The pool room is a porta cabin where the  project workers have their morning meeting, breaks and have the chance to keep dry if its raining! It was beginning to look a bit old and in desperate need of…
