Using goats to clear the plot
On our Farside allotment, we have a small paddock which has been used for holding goats and chickens in the past. Since November however it has been empty. The chickens had gone into runs on our Nearside allotment due to avian flu restrictions and the goats were down at the farm. As we are now well into spring, the paddock has become overgrown and we want to move our surplus cockerels into it. So we have moved our two smallest goats – Janey and Dolly – into the paddock so that they can eat their way through all the vegetation. We are also trimming the hawthorn hedge though we are checking it carefully for any bird nests. If we find any, the hedge trimming will be delayed until later in the year. The goats however love hawthorn. It’s one of their favourites.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
