Here at Boscrowan we actively invite our younger visitors to participate in the routines of the farm. Children are invited
to collect eggs from the free range poultry, watch the farrier as he shoes one of our horses or enjoy the
rapturous welcome each time they come home from the two collie dogs.
Young children are delighted by a cat or two sunning themselves on the steps or chickens and ducks waddling past
the door. We have also introduced a treasure trail to encourage our guests to explore our 25 acres with a river,
wild fuschias, bluebells and fields of daffodils and grazing horses.

Seasons at Boscrowan
SUMMER
|
 |
June has seen successful hay making in seven of our fields, in the space of about four dry days. The grass is mown,
then spread and turned until sufficiently dry to bale. We use this for the 3 horses that we have here and sell the surplus.
In the same week we had the birth of a foal and hatching of Buff Orpington eggs in the incubator which is good news as we
are currently down to only one of this type in our poultry collection.
Buff Orpingtons are classified as a rare breed, are very docile, attractive to look at and are very good mothers.
