There is something very satisfying about digging up weeds to then give them to the pigs to eat. Rather than discarding the weeds; they were very much enjoyed by the pig and her piglets :)
Our task was to weed the beds near the cafe area to make room for the strawberries, gooseberries and rhubarb. We had an hour to clear a small ish section and the time whizzed by and before we knew it; time was up. 2 wheelbarrows full of weeds and the pigs had a lovely lunch.
Another satisfying job done and time for coffee. Life is all about balance so after 1 hour of gardening; we spent an hour in the cafe to catch up and enjoy the 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
