In this week's FARMVLOG we have a general catch up on the work we've been doing on the farm - we look at the new brash hedge, fencing and gates we have put in to create a laneway to safely and quickly move the goats and geese to areas of the farm. We look at the beautiful flowering cherry plum and discuss why they may not be successful. We check in with the goats and see how Mandy, our goat that is in kid, is doing and what we need to do to prepare for kidding. We have a look at the polytunnel and see how the veg beds have changed before looking at some hardy, cold climate fig varieties we are growing. We then venture out into the market garden where we are creating a tree nursery and look at our first attempts at grafting apple and plum trees. We then spend the afternoon planting hops in our food forest. We look at why and how we are using existing alder trees to grow our hops up, using the tall, skinny tree trunks as a growing support for the vigorous climbers.

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.

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.
