Saturday 4th May
Report written by Helen Conner (she/her)
Goats, pigs, miniature horses and Goodgymers got together on Saturday for a fun time at the farm.
Loading wheelbarrows full of yummy leftovers of pruned plants to drop off in the goat enclosure for some great underfoot food. Meyrick got inside the goat shelter to lay their hay bedding.
Helen fed the huge pig in the next door enclosure who was eyeing up the hay.
Next job was to load up the wheelbarrows with something much less desirable....manure! Jane, Stephen, Emily and Meyrick wheel their manure down to the horse enclosure only to find out that the farm had mislaid the key for the gate! So one by one, they lifted the wheelbarrows of muck over the gates being careful not to get covered! Then off down to the vegetable garden to deposit the manure for the vegetable growers!
Another job done for the lovely team at the farm followed by an enjoying cafe stop for some refreshments :)
Bath City Farm was set up by the local community in the early 1990s, when the resident farmer retired. It gained charitable status in 1995. Over the past 17 years there has been considerable progress on site, including introducing our Soay sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and pigs, a pony and most recently a flock of guinea fowl
