This week's FARMVLOG starts off with James hunting for the Shetland sheep in our North Field - a wild and wooded field that we rarely visit, except to take the sheep or goats to as it's perfect for their needs. We have a sheep update before preparing to move them to an area of nut tree silvopasture above the market garden. This agroforestry system, combining grazing with tree crops, consists of hazel and chestnut trees, interplanted with alder. The grass is very long so perfect for the sheep who are in need of some new grazing. We walk through several areas of forest garden and willow coppice before setting up a grazing cell using electric netting and get the sheep moved.
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.

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 YouTube 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.
