Our laying flock of hens are in our polytunnel and now the goats are residing in our small tunnel for the winter. Free from drafts and rain leaks and with a light and warm environment, the tunnel should keep our star milkers in good condition until spring (and think of the manure that can prep the tunnel for a hefty tomato planting next year). #goats #winter #polytunnel #marketgarden #csafarm #communitysupportedagriculture #dairygoats

New FARMVLOG folks- check it out over on our YouTube channel. #vlog #homesteadvlog #famingvlog #permaculture #marketgarden #csafarm #communitysupportedagriculture #goats #vegboxes #scotland #youtube

I’m a lucky guy. Rosa’s cheeses are the best. Seen here floating in brine, Tap Farm’s @rosabevan keeps us all eating well with dairy produce made with love and with huge dedication to her herd that she manages come rain or shine. I’m gonna get fat. 💚🐐😘👨‍🌾👩‍🌾 #goatscheese #goatmilk #dairy #goats #selfsufficient #permaculture #farm #homestead

Google maps have finally caught up and we get to see our market garden and expanding agroforestry from above (though very blurry). Can’t believe how much the tree cover has grown. #permaculturedesign #agroforestry #silvopasture #marketgarden #permaculture #csafarm #design #landscapedesign #googlemaps #ecodesign

Caught him/her (@thewoodsidestories how do we sex the geese?!) after a good run up and down an icey field. #escapedgoose #geese #permaculture #scotland

Packing away meters of crop netting @rosabevan style! Preparing the market garden for winter continues. #marketgarden #csafarm #communitysupportedagriculture #organicfarming #organicveggies #permaculture

That’s it - 2019 veg box season all wrapped up and over for another year. A MASSIVE thank you to all our CSA members who have greatly supported us buy investing in us as their veg farmers and sticking with us through the ups and downs of seasonal and organic farming. Thank you to our drop off points, whether you’re a shop or private home we couldn’t have functioned so well without your input. Also a big thanks to those within our local and international community who have kept our spirits up with words and actions of support. And last of all, a HUGE thanks to Shirley (James’s mum) for all her help on harvest and delivery days. We’ll be back for veg box season 5 next year, 2020!!! #vegbox #csa #communitysupportedagriculture #csafarm #permaculture #localfood #seasonalfood #organic #organicveggies #aberdeenshire #farming #organicfarming #familyfarm #smallbusiness #localbusiness #marketgarden @ethicalgiftshop @scottishsculptureworkshop @macdonaldsofalford @shirl.reid

TADAH!! The chickshaw gets revealed and filled full of chickens in FARMVLOG 39, now available to watch on our YouTube channel! #chickshaw #mobilechickencoop #eggmobile #chickens #permaculture #permaculturechickens #justinrhodes #marketgarden #csa #communitysupportedagriculture #vlog #youtube #homesteadvlog

Road testing the chickshaw! Our fantastic local volunteer Mark built this moveable hen house which should hopefully help us to rotate the chickens around our finished market garden plots allowing the hens to feast on any crop residue and add fertility to the soil. We followed the @thejustinrhodesshow plans for the chickshaw (with a few modifications) and look forward to fully testing this design out. #chickshaw #eggmobile #chickens #hens #permaculture #marketgarden #permaculturechickens #csa #communitysupportedagriculture #csafarm #farming #design #vegboxes

We’re serious about mulching our orchard rows. Getting it done with attitude. #permaculture #forestgarden #foodforest #marketgarden #scotland #communitysupportedagriculture #mulch

We had a great day yesterday at the Scottish Smallholders Festival- thanks to all who came along to our talk and to the organisers for inviting us to speak. #scottishsmallholderfestival #smallholder #homesteading #permaculture #csa #communitysupportedagriculture #vegboxes #agroforestry #guestspeaker

We’ll be in the sheep ring today at Forfar mart for the Scottish Smallholders Festival. We’ll be talking about all things #communitysupportedagriculture , #permaculturedesign and how we do what we do here at Tap o’ Noth Farm. Come say hello if you’re at the festival too! #scottishsmallholdersfestival #smallholding #scotland #permaculture #homestead #csa #csafarm #vegboxes

The logs we inoculated with shiitake mushroom spawn last year during a mushroom cultivation course are starting to show signs of progress. The white and chocolate brown coloured mycelium are present on the end of these aspen logs that were inoculated last year. #mushrooms #shitakemushrooms #permaculture #mycelium #sustainable #farmingthewoods #forestfarm #communitysupportedagriculture
