 The Complete Resource for Serious Smallholders!

The Smallholder Series' DVDs, presented by Adam Henson,  have been designed to provide expert guidance for smallholders, livestock owners and anyone interested in country living and 'the good life'.
Have a look at the DVD reviews.

This website hosts a constantly growing library of resources drawn from accredited sources, that will increase the smallholders knowledge on a range of topics - from managing your livestock for peak
health, to creating a productive orchard.

What's New for May 2012

Having been lulled into a rather gentle start to spring, April brought some really chilly weather with night frosts, and instead of gentle ‘April Showers’, the end of the month delivered torrential rain and gales.  As a result, everything is rather topsy-turvy in the vegetable garden, with seeds sown earlier in the month being well behind, and some lost to late frosts.  But never fear, nature has a way of balancing itself out, and although things may be a bit slow in the garden, given a few warm days everything will be playing ‘catch-up’ in no time.

As usual, we have our Things To Do This Month that will help you plan your time managing Sheep, Chickens, Pigs and the Vegetable Plot.  If you’re looking for information about a specific smallholding subject, have a quick search in our Index of Articles – and if it’s not there, let us know so that we can fill the gap.

All in all, we’ve been enjoying a wonderful spring, full of blossom, swallows and newborn lambs, which you can read all about (and coo over the awfully cute photos) in the Green Farm Diary.

We’ll be taking a couple of days away from Green Farm this month to attend the Royal Welsh Smallholder & Garden Festival on 19th^st & 20^th May.  Our stand will be in the Smallholder Building (near the cattle rings), and we have arranged a special offer with Smallholder Magazine for all visitors to their stand to receive a voucher for a free Flock Health Planner with any DVD purchase.  We’ll also be launching our new “Sheep Butchery” DVD and Britain’s favourite farmer, Adam Henson will be joining us on one of the two days – so please come and visit our stand (LB220) – we look forward to meeting you!
