Winter Pool

What's happening in the field?

We are in the process of improving the path to run in parallel with the existing right of way. We have already replanted half of it with hard-wearing grass. this will be for foot traffic and mobility vehicles only (for a smoother ride and no ruts!) Sam has been topping (cutting down) the winter cover crop in here ready to plant a feed crop. As soon as it’s dry enough, this field will be ploughed ready for a wheat/bean crop at one end and barley/peas at the other. All to feed the pigs!

Field Description

Presumably named because it became wet in the winter! We often divide this field into East and West for planting. It’s one of the original Organic 4, and the first field to have pigs on when we arrived in 1992.
