The summer wildflowers here at Carbeth Farm have been loving the last few weeks of sunny weather and are putting on an amazing display. The birds are busy feeding up and preparing for winter.
At the end of May 2021, the Carbeth Home Farm biodiversity restoration team welcomed some new members – four beautiful pedigree Galloway cows.
Carbeth Home Farm and neighbouring Little Drumquharn have joined Northwoods – a network created by Scotland the Big Picture to support and facilitate small scale rewilding and ecological restoration projects in Scotland.
As a newcomer to an area it is always a delight to see spring unfurling across a new landscape. Now, with the slightly warmer weather and longer evenings I am enjoying the sounds of spring as I go out on my regular walks. With the Easter holidays just starting there is so much to enjoy on and around the Carbeth Estate it is hard to know where to start.
These three models of land management can all yield huge benefits in terms of biodiversity and carbon sequestration. What are the differences between them, and how will we use each at Carbeth?
Introducing Sam Lyth – a new resident of Carbeth Estate and life long nature enthusiast. In Sam’s first blog post, she shares some of the birds you are likely to spot around Carbeth and Killearn, and invites you to share your own findings.
This project is driven by three people, none of whom were born in to a life of farming, but who share an optimism, creativity and entrepreneurial vision for the future of the farm.
We believe our small farm can generate income and employment, can make a contribution, however small, to reversing climate change and species loss, and could improve the physical and mental wellbeing of many people.
