It's been a wee while since we last uploaded a FARMVLOG, thank you for your patience. We've got a lot to tell you.
We start off leading the goats up to the North Field to graze, catching up on all things goat and farm kid related - everyone is growing so quickly. We announce the launch of our new business - TAP:RETREAT - a beautiful shepherds hut and wood fired hot tub that we now have available to rent through airbnb (link below). Then James takes a wonder through areas of new forest garden plantings before heading to the goat shed via an area of silvopasture, explaining the change in design from wood fuel production to apple orchard silvopasture. We look at how long it takes the goats to rotationally graze through the system and the fencing we use. We Finish by looking at the improvements we have made to the goat shed area, mostly the paddock around the shed where we have made new more robust fencing using timber backs/slabs and how we protect trees from goat damage.
About Tap o' Noth Farm:
Hi, we're James and Rosa! Welcome to Tap o' Noth Farm, a quarter acre Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) market garden and 8 acre permaculture designed forest garden farm/homestead in Aberdeenshire, NE Scotland. We practice home scale to small farm scale agroforestry and regenerative agriculture methods to produce organic fruit and vegetables, raise dairy goats for all our raw milk needs, Shetland sheep and geese to graze our silvopasture and coppice systems and laying hens, moved around in a Chickshaw, for an abundance of eggs.
Our videos aren't 'how to's' - more videos to give a glimpse into our lifestyle and hopefully inspire you to bring aspects of what you see into your own life.
TAP:RETREAT

If you're looking for even more content from James and Rosa then you can become a patron of Tap Farm. It takes James between 5-10 hrs to edit our vlogs, let alone the time it takes to film and farm at the same time! Your support will aid us greatly in producing our FARMVLOGS, enabling us to take the time needed to craft a beautiful film and to help fund the licences needed for the vlog soundtrack. We will list your name at the end of each vlog episode so everyone knows how brilliant you are! We will also keep you updated on our farm work/life by posting exclusive video content that is not available on KZbin such as FARMVLOG outtakes, behind the scenes footage, hints & tips and more in depth videos discussing the many permaculture systems to be found on the farm PLUS the odd photo from Rosa and James.
