Lavender loving lambs
Home / Lavender loving lambs
Each year we are joined on the farm by Shropshire Sheep. The Shropshires make them selves busy munching on the weeds in our lavender fields, and their helps means we can make sure our lavender is grown truly organically! This clever breed of sheep feed only on the weeds between the plants, and not on the woody stalks of lavender. Tried and tested in fruit plantations & vineyards, they are widely used to maintain the fields.
This week the Shropshires gave us an unexpected surprise when two of the girls gave birth to healthy little lambs! It's truly a gorgeous sight seeing them scampering up and down the lavender rows. We just wish we could keep them all year round. Who knows, perhaps they will be back next summer, grown up and ready to lend us a hand
