The second part.... and the secret to green lush grass (hopefully...)! This little video shows the second stage of the seedbed preparation for our special blend of grass and clover to be planted in. This is going to be a cracking job!

Hey everyone! We’re so excited to share what’s been happening at South Acres Fields. Over the next few days we’ll be posting a daily video showing the step-by-step process of setting up our brand-new dog field.

You’ll see:
🚜 A fleet of serious machinery (tractor fans, this is your moment!)
👷 Skilled operators making it all look easy
🌱 The best grass and clover mixes chosen for happy paws and long-term growth
🎙️ Matt’s commentary guiding you through each stage

We’re not just building a field – we’re investing in the future. By the time this work done, we’ll have established three new fields this autumn and made sure that The Dog Barn Darlington has more outside space than any other doggy daycare in the world!... 🐾

Keep an eye out for each instalment, and let us know your favourite bit along the way – the tractors, the green shoots, or Matt’s storytelling!

Busy weeks are good weeks, and we have good some news!

Entrance to our Hurworth site has been improved.

Lots of time in the office over the past few months means that our planning application for a brand new field on the Durham Coast is in. The field is in a stunning location between Castle Eden and Hesleden and is HUGE with sea views! You can view the application and leave a letter of support here (This helps a lot):

https://publicaccess.durham.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SXNDZ2GDMY300&activeTab=summary

Tell your friends between Hartlepool and Sunderland that a great new facility is coming soon (if the Durham County planners are in a good mood!)

In our farming business Harvest is in full flow.

There is a bit of availability left for late on today so you can still book a session on this lovely Saturday!
