Celebrate #Wovember at our knitting workshop

24/10/2019

With the nights drawing in and the temperatures dropping, it's time to turn our attention inwards and embrace a little hygge at our sock knitting workshop in November.  The workshop is very kindly being run by Maike Windhorst, a farm member, and ties in with #Wovember, November's month long celebration of wool.    

Using our beautiful Aran yarn from our Ronaldsay flock, learn how to knit socks in our hands-on friendly workshop and begin your journey making your own clothes from natural products.  All yarn and equipment will be provided, along with worksheets.  Basic knitting skills are useful, but not essential.  For those who don't feel confident enough to join in, simply come along and watch.  Friends and family are very welcome.

There's no stopping Team Lauriston, as we join The High Street Market at St Mary's in Billericay.  We're here every second Saturday of the month between 10am and 4pm.  It's an indoor market so is ideal for the colder months ahead.  The next one will be on 9th November.  Pop down, say hello and stock up with our freshly picked vegetable produce and delicious pasture-fed lamb and beef.  We look forward to seeing you there.

Something of an exciting new venture for us, there will now be a pop-up farm shop in the barn every Friday between 11am and 2.30pm.  The first is this Friday, 24th May.  You'll be able to buy our seasonal vegetables along with our amazing slow-grown, pasture-fed beef and lamb and, of course, our delicious eggs.  For our lovely customers, we even provide hot drinks too.  The kettle's on, so what are you waiting for?  We look forward to seeing you.

Following the success of our Farm Open Days, we have decided to continue them indefinitely.  We will now be holding them on the last Saturday morning of each month, except December.  They'll be at the usual time of between 10.30am and 12.30pm.  We hope to have some mid-week ones too, details will be posted on our website when their dates are confirmed.

For those that haven't visited the farm already, this is a great opportunity to learn about what we do, biodynamic farming and meet our animals.  You'll get a chance to feed the sheep too.  Much of our farm is wheelchair accessible, we have a drop off point by our main barn, with parking nearby, and have specially adapted toilets as well.  

Booking in advance is essential as spaces are limited.  You can find out more or book your place here.

Biodynamics comes to the Dengie

16/4/2019

We go market crazy in 2019!  After joining the Colchester and Bell Inn Farmers' Market earlier this year, we now venture into the Dengie.  Biodynamics meets Burnham-on-Crouch, as we started trading at the Burnham-on-Crouch Farmers' Market in March.

With high winds forecast, we opted to be inside in the relative safety of the Hall.  Again, sales went well and we were cleaned out of our Purple Sprouting.  Word had obviously spread that we were coming to town.     
​
The market is on the third Sunday of each month in the Village Hall between 9am and 12.30pm.  For those coming by car, there is plenty of free on-street parking nearby.  We're looking forward to the next market this coming Easter Sunday.  If you live locally or happen to be in the area,  then do drop by.

Second sighting of rare mud sharks confirmed at the farm

1/4/2019

Following a report of a rare sighting of mud sharks in this week's Maldon and Burnham Standard, we can confirm a second sighting.  Spencer was out checking the sheep this morning when he managed to take this photo.

It's believed that a combination of rising sea temperatures and perfect mud conditions in this area makes the Blackwater Estuary an ideal breeding ground for them. We have reported the sighting and submitted a full statement to Professor D Orsil, a Finnish expert of this elusive shark, who will be investigating it further.

If you love biodynamics, you'll love this.  Ralf Roessner has chosen our farm as the UK venue for his talk and workshop over the early May Bank Holiday weekend. 
​
We couldn't be more honoured, because Ralf is a big name in biodynamics on mainland Europe.  He is a passionate bee-keeper and biodynamic farmer who produces light root (Chinese yam), which is prized for its medicinal properties.  In addition, he has worked in the field of water research for over 20 years.  Ralf specialises in natural medicine, nutrition, healing water technologies and education in the “subtle energy fields”.  He is the author of The Light Root and The Genius of Bees and the Elemental Beings. 

On Friday 3rd May at 8pm he will be giving a talk on 'The Initiate Consciousness and the Mission of the Folk Spirit'.  This is followed by a workshop the next day on Saturday 4th 10am - 5pm , 'How can I develop a consciousness of the planet in order to gain access to the authentic beings of the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms?'  A talk with practical development exercises.

For more details and to book, visit our dedicated Event webpage.
