About Us

Devizes, Wiltshire, United Kingdom
Hello there, we are Shawn & Helen Scott. We were lucky enough to aquire 3 1/2" acres of land in Wiltshire. It been a hard slog over the last 12 months as the land was in a terrible mess, basically it was being used as a rubbish tip. But after a lot of work from us, the kids and family we have managed to clear half of it. Our objective/purpose is to create our own small holding and live off the land. To most it is a dream, but to us we are going to make it a reality.

Happy New Year and Sorry!!!!!

Hi All, Happy New Year to you all. We are sorry we haven't been very good at keeping our blog updated, but we have now managed to convince our daughter to take over this task as well as our facebook page. Well the recent weather put us back a bit down the Holding, but we struggled through. Two of our pigs went to slaughter at the end of November for bacon and gammon joints. We must say that we were very impressed with our butcher. The joints were first class and to be honest within a week of getting them back from the butcher everything was sold. Sadly though we didn't get to keep a good freezer full for ourselves. We are only three days into the New Year and we have been working our fingers to the bone in getting more of the land cleared and making way for all of our new arrivals. The first arrivals were picked up yesterday 2/1/2011. Four new saddleback weaners, only 8 weeks old. They have spent the first eight weeks of their lives in a concrete floored pen, so they were a little subdued when we introduced them to their new home. But they have settled in and are exploring. We have a lot of new projects coming up and this year 2011 will be a fantastic and exciting time.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
