Despite the rain continuing to fall throughout the month, our spirits here at the farm have remained high. The season is bringing with it a real sense of new beginnings, and there has been plenty to celebrate.
New arrivals on the farm 🐑
We’ve been delighted to welcome several baby lambs to the farm this month. They’ve already brought so much joy to everyone who has met them and are settling in beautifully.
The bird boxes and feeders made by our young people have also been attracting lots of attention. It’s been wonderful to see so much interest from the birds already, and we’re excited to see even more wildlife around the barn in the coming weeks.
A new face on the team 🌱
We’re also very pleased to welcome Gemma to the team. She’ll be working alongside Hannah and Frankie and has already made a fantastic impact. Gemma is looking forward to getting to know all our young people.
In the spotlight 🎙️
We were also delighted to welcome BBC Radio Suffolk to the farm on Monday 23rd February. They visited to find out more about the service we provide and to see the work happening here first-hand.
Our CEO and founder Hannah, alongside one of our young people, Jay, took part in a live interview at 11am to share more about the impact of the farm and what it means to the young people who attend.
You can listen back to the interview on the BBC Radio Suffolk website.
A few big thank yous 💚
We’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to some of the organisations supporting our work this month:
East Suffolk Fund, for awarding us a grant to run a new project supporting a specific group of young people in our local community. We’re looking forward to sharing more details once the project is underway.
Framlingham Town Council, for choosing to support our work.
The Tim White Countrywide Foundation, who continue to support us. Tim and Cydny recently visited the farm to see the work we do, which meant a great deal to us.
Thanks to this latest grant, we’ll be able to restore and get our polytunnel flourishing again, growing vegetables, fruits and flowers. It’s a really special part of the farm, and we’re excited to bring it back to life.
Keep an eye on our social media for updates as the work progresses.
