Mantel Farm Shop

We have some great courses coming up that would make ideal Mothers' Day gifts! There are several different Willow Weaving courses being run by local Willowweaver - Julie Gurr and a lovely cosmetic course with Hand Made by Juliette. All dates and details on the website www.mantelfarm.co.uk. Gift vouchers also available. ūüéĀ

It looks like we are in for a cold spell this week so don't forget to check that your chickens' water hasn't frozen up. Bringing the drinker in overnight can save a lot of time in the morning, or have a second drinker that you can alternate. Use warm water only to defrost a plastic drinker as boiling water can cause it to crack!

For each refill you will receive a stamp on your loyalty card, so 10 stamps and you will have a free refill!
Information on Diatom is in the February newsletter:
