We are thrilled to be part of the new focus on a sustainable farming year presented by for the . The first episode aired today at 7pm (catch it again on iplayer!) and was a feast of biodiversity across the farm.

The crew will be following the farm through the seasons and we will be back on the One Show in Autumn. It is a real pleasure to be telling the story of our approach and the impact it has on nature in this way, huge thanks to the team, and !

…and we are done! Harvest is over for another year here. It goes without saying that it has been a dry and dusty time to bring in the crops, but a huge thank you must go to our team on the farm who continue to share our values and passion for organic and sustainable farming.

Another year of shearing done and not a moment too soon!🔥

We are really excited to be working with local weaver who has been awarded Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant for Research and Development to investigate undervalued and discarded wool waste involving wool from our Hampshire Down flock and other local farmers. We are really excited to see how this project develops and are so pleased that our wool will find new ways to be used.

As part of for , we are highlighting one of the UK’s increasingly scarce butterflies.

As you may know, we are passionate about butterflies on this estate and the Duke of Burgundy stood out for a special mention this week.

This is a beautiful chequered butterfly which is listed on the GB Red list as vulnerable due to the destruction of its habitat and the use of pesticides over recent decades, greatly impacting the population.

The Duke’s larval food plant is Cowslip, however sensitive management of the habitat is needed to provide the right conditions. It must grow in the shade to attract the butterfly, but not too much otherwise the cowslips die out, along with the larvae.

You can spot these in late Spring, in downland areas with abundant cowslips and scattered scrub. We managed to see 8 in one small area this year on the farm and were delighted that the species persists here.

Head to the link in our bio to read our full blog post about the Duke and how we manage its habitat here.

MAKING SILAGE WHILE THE SUN SHINES | This weekend, we are cutting oats and vetches to mix in with grass and make silage for our cows.

Listen to Rory chat about what we do and about how we have to consider the impact on our resident Roe deer too!

BUSTARD HUT | Thrilled to read reviews like this and very grateful to have such brilliant guests to our huts!

‘The Bustard Hut is a place of magic and wingtips.

From the moment we arrived to a field full of peacocks, our stay delighted and enthralled us. The hut itself was perfect for a family break managing to be both charmingly rustic and completely practical and comfortable. The surroundings were so serene that we could easily tune into the crackle of the fire and the singing of the birds. From the deer nibbling the wildflowers behind the hut to the hares we saw hopping through a nearby poppy field, the whole place felt like something from a story book.

The hot tub under the stars was perfection. Thank you for sharing a place so wonderful with your guests - we have been completely enchanted and can’t wait to return’.

May | With spring firmly here, we are happily watching new life emerge on the Estate. We have welcomed our first Cleveland Bay of the year, continuing the line of this beautiful rare breed which has been an integral part of the farm since the 1880s.

Elsewhere, the hedgerows are full of blossom, the cows are grazing, sweet little chicks are scurrying everywhere. It’s a lovely time of year here!
