What beautiful weather for the weekend! And a gorgeous evening to watch baby bunnies binkying about. 🥰
It's so lovely to see the new chickens enjoying the morning sun out in the garden. They're now freeranging with the main flock and it won't be long before they're fully integrated.
We've got a good number of eggs on the honesty stall today. If you pop by to collect a couple of boxes, do say hello to the chickens!

A greenhouse tour and a fun little poem all rolled into one.
We've moved the rabbitry into the greenhouse to give the babies more shelter from this awful, wet weather we're having. I cannot wait for them to start exploring outside the nest so I can sit in there with a cuppa and watch them play!
PS. All words my own. 😉
This weekend's eggs: two dozen quail, two dozen chicken. Miiiight have run out of egg boxes, but on the upside, each paper bag has a double-yolker in it. Enjoy!

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen the honesty stall so full of chicken eggs before! If you've not visited before, you can find us in uphill Lincoln, just off Nettleham Road. Message for more info. 💚
We now have enough daily eggs to open the honesty stall. It's still small numbers but hopefully enough to meet the needs of our regulars.

Bunny treasure hunt! Bella and Dusk loved sniffing out and foraging around for treats in their rabbitry. We love being able to give them so much space and enrichment.
Mr Thornbury is getting ready for business!

Beautiful weather today for mucking out and then hanging out with the buns. These two are amazingly tame, and they are super good together. #angora #angorarabbit #rabbitry #rabbitlife #highwelfare #qualitylife #hygge #hyggeliving #homestead #naturallife
Talking cornfields and gardening faux pa's with Carl in the latest episode of Self Sufficient Hub. I was hoping to accompany the podcast link with an image of sun-kissed corn towering over smiling children but the weather had other ideas...

One of the many activities that make up our urban homestead is making bee's wax wraps (if you don't already know, wax wraps are plastic-free food wraps and waaaaay prettier than clingfilm). I mostly sell them on Etsy but since starting the honesty stall in our garden I've been thinking about adding them to sell alongside our rainbow eggs and plants.
What do you think? Is it a bit of a risk? Is there likely to be much interest? Please add your vote to the poll in stories but also leave a comment here if you have thoughts or suggestions. 🙏

For a very limited time only we now have plants available at our honesty box stall.
All plants are £1 each. We have four different varieties of tomatoes, giving a mix of different colours and sizes. There's also aubergines, paprika sweet peppers and sweet round peppers. All plants are ready for planting out in their final position. They have been hardened off for a life outdoors but would do equally well in a greenhouse. The honesty box is inside the garden cupboard with the eggs.

Eeek! We have a little honesty box stall in the front garden! I'm so giddy about this! 😄
So now we have somewhere safe and protected from the elements for drop-ins and preorders.
We have a good supply of mixed weight 'rainbow' chicken eggs at the moment. Quail eggs are still on a waiting list but we're catching up. If you live in the Lincoln area please share with people you know. 🙏

When one little guy got stuck we made the difficult decision to open the incubator and try to hand hatch. Having never done this before we didn't know how it would go, but we felt it was his only hope. 💚
