Revisit A Smallholding In UK - Homestead In Wales

We have revisited our friends smallholding in UK. They have set up this homestead in Wales with an intention to improve the local wildlife and create a life for themselves within it. By creating a smallholding in Wales they have taken a step that many of us only dream about. They even have an off grid tent in the orchard. They also have a Community Interest Company set up to create a community orchard across the road from their home. Join us for a look around and see what has changed since our last visit. To take a look around the holiday let and more visit https://www.wildfood.wales/ To see our previous visits October 2018    • Guest Blog - Wales   April 2021    • Visit A Smallholding In Wales - Home ...   💷 To find out more about the home business that allows us the time to live our lifestyle visit www.steveandsuzy.co.uk This is a bit more than a hobby farm homestead as they have a desire to live sustainably and help others share in the experience. We begin our tour of the homestead by looking at the wild flowers that have just been started outside the holiday let end of the property. From here we make our way up into the homestead allotment gardening area where Will and Bridget have been very busy growing enough for themselves and some show vegetables too. We take a look around the two greenhouses on the hobby farm and start in the heated greenhouse. In here they have plenty of vegetables growing and no space has been wasted. Allotment gardening beginners can be inspired by what has been set up here. The unheated greenhouse has three very large oil drums and a deep bed that are filled with sharp sand. These are used for growing parsnips and carrots to show standards. Holes are made in the sand and filled with compost to grow long and straight roots. They also have a trained nectarine tree at the end which is covered in blossom. Outside of the greenhouses there are a selection of raised beds on the homestead. They certainly have plenty of space to grow enough food for themselves and to sell at local fairs. The fencing around the outside is now finished and needs to be good to keep the chickens and geese out. Just beyond the fence are the bee hives. Will and Bridget sell the honey and make candles from the wax. We have sampled both plenty of times and can recommend them. Across the road we take a look around the community interest company land and the orchard that has been planted. The orchard is through a gate opposite the main house and has already been set up with fruit and nut trees and bushes. The area has been planned with a couple of benches and an area to relax in. It already looks great and as it all grows it will only look better. A selection of trees have been chosen as the project is breaking new ground with varieties that are rarely grown at this altitude in this area so some will do better than others. They are all native varieties so I'm sure they will do well. There is an off grid camping option with the tent. We chose to stay in the cottage but if we want to try some off grid living next time then we have the option. The views from on top of the hill are great in all directions. Then across the field a little further is an example of what they aim to create more of. The first oak forest has been planted in a corner of the top field. These will give a great habitat for wildlife as they mature. The project is also aiming to increase the depth of the hedging around the entire area. This will involve a lot of planting but the increased hedging will create a wildlife corridor which will benefit the entire area. 🔴 Subscribe to our channel with the link below. https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatsWhatWe...
