Bushwell Farm Newletter May 2024
Welcome to the latest Bushwell Farm newsletter which we send out once or twice a year. Here’s our newest member of staff, Merry who you can see is rather fond of gardening!
Here’s what has been happening since I last wrote.
The Events Field
We’ve already held our first event of the season which was a role play birthday party complete with a demonstration sword fight! The weather was wonderful and everyone seemed to have a lovely time.
The rest of the summer sees us hosting an extend camping weekend, several birthday parties and two weddings.
If you are looking to hold something similar we still have a little availability so just ask.
We are also putting on three events of our own which you might be interested in. They all take place over the weekend 14th-16th June, 2024.
Friday, 14th June, 2024 - Where There’s Brass - Tom Kitching, musician and author.
Tom is one of the best folk fiddlers currently on the scene, but is also a very good writer.
He lives on a canal boat and enjoys a cheerful existence exploring England’s watery by-ways. He is launching his latest book and album, Where There’s Brass at various gigs around the country including our farm. Where There’s Brass is a homage to the London waterways. BBQ and licensed bar.

What About The Animals?
Now the weather has finally picked up it’s been a very busy time on the farm with lots of new calves being born including the first male calf to be born in two years!
We also have some new cade lambs being bottle fed and currently enjoying the sunshine.

All the cattle are out in the fields and we’ve finally got the spring barley sowed which is now showing through nicely.
Have a lovely summer and hopefully see you on the farm sometime.
