New Ewes Mean Cute Lambs For Next Spring, Hopefully!
Farmer Jez and Lou have had an exciting couple of weeks shopping, for some new sheep. We have had a range of Poll Dorset, Texel & Suffolk sheep in the past, and we were keen to try something a bit different.
Eco Efforts
We are trying our best to help the planet and keep Cornwall the amazing beautiful natural place it is. We are lucky we live in a part of the world, where residents and visitors are very conscious of the issues and keen to make a difference.
Three Billy Goats not so Gruff
In July 2019 we welcomed three new animals to life on the farm. There were some goats looking for a new home as their current owners were being forced to relocate.
Coombe Farm’s Famous Rice Salad Recipe
Many of our lovely guests have asked how to make the Coombe Farm Rice Salad. Well, it's not exactly top secret, so here you go. It's a very versatile salad, goes well hot or cold with a BBQ or buffet. It can be made in advance, or freshly before serving.
Life on the Farm, May 2017
Lambing kicked off just before Easter, and we now have eight lambs out frolicking in the fields. The babies include two sets of twins, and they are all thriving on the farm. They love to play in the “climbing tree”, a tree with lots of routes about the ground.
Lambing 2016
2016 was our second year of lambing, and we were all quite nervous going into it this time. Our new Ram, “Bertie” moved in last summer, and has been in the fields with the ewes since November. Bertie is a Texel sheep. Texel sheep originate from the island of Texel in the Netherlands, and are hardy, tough and docile. Their lambs are reported to have a great will to survive at birth, which bodes well!
Our Bee World – The Beginning
Fun Fact: Did you know the word Dumbledore (made famous by the Harry Potter stories) is the Cornish word for bumblebee? Find out more about how we are working with Friends of the Earth to help the bees.
Farmer Jez’s Tomato Soup
The Coombe Farm Vegetable patch, supervised by Sally, is getting bigger and better every year. At the moment we are enjoying a glut of tomatoes. We’ve a variety of yellow and red, small and large. They taste fantastic, we’ve been eating lots of sunny tomato salads and tomato soup.
Sheep Shearing
As the heat wave approached, we knew it was time to have the Coombe Farm “flock” sheared. They had never been fully sheared as last year they were lambs, so they had very very woolly coats and were struggling in the heat.
