well here we are folks, next Monday the 23rd of September is the last week of opening for our yurts for the 2024 season. Always a mixture of feelings, grateful for the summer sunshine and a wonderful flow of guests coming through our farm gates. Sad to be coming to the end of Summer, but we have lots of treats coming along for the Autumn season. We have availability for one night stays in the yurts Monday to Thursday and the last weekend of September at a two night or three night option.

We are putting together some circular walks from the farm for those days when you just want to stay local - there are lots of footpaths and bridle ways here in west devon - some using old droving lanes and green lanes which take you off the small by roads into some beautiful devon landscapes - the tamara way - a stunning new route opened this year running along the valley of the river tamar which divides Devon and Cornwall passes through our local village of kelly routes

28/08/2024

And so with a blink of the eye, peak Summer is nearly over and we enter those warm days of September where the late summer sun is most welcome, fruit hangs heavy on the trees, a perfect time for foraging and eating well, the beaches of Devon and Cornwall are quiet and we can help you find one all to yourselves if that is your preference. Return to Borough Farm for a hot tub under the stars or a private sauna session for you and your loved ones. We only have three full weekends remaining for this season. The weekends of September the 13th, 20th and 27th have availability at the moment, if you would like a one night weekend stay we have this Friday in little links, or Friday the 6th in Little links, and then that's it until 2025 !

I’m not one for midwinter it is a well-known fact, although I have tried to embrace the colder darker months over the latter years and taking saunas and cooking wholesome food and enjoying the downtimes has been part of that journey. However, there is still a part of me that is absolutely delighted that today is the shortest day, and from now onwards our days are lengthening and we are heading towards spring - happy winter solstice everybody

This week, whilst attending a service of Thanksgiving for dear Bet who lived in a neighbouring village, I heard this story. This very dear lady, always had jelly babies at hand. Whilst at a church service, she would often reach for the hand of her fellow worshipper and put a jelly baby in his hand and curl his fingers around the jelly baby and give a gentle squeeze - that conjoures up such a lovely image of love and care and a little bit of naughtiness. Let’s all be a little bit more like Bet and reach out and give a jelly baby and a little bit more love to make our communities happier places, and the people who live within them, feel connected and loved. - at the service tubs of jelly. Babies were placed at the end of each of the pews at Peter Tavy church for the members of the congregation - what a lovely way to remember this very lovely lady,.

Challenge Two: Love Your Gear Longer

Resilience, Memories, Sustainability

My trusty yellow jacket, purchased about 15 years ago, has become more than just a garment; it's a storied companion in my life's adventures. Its vibrant hue, once accompanied by a strikingly green mid-layer, first brightened the ski slopes, guiding my three young children as they followed its beacon-like presence.

This jacket has embraced countless journeys - from thrilling ski adventures to serene horseback rides, from bustling city explorations to tranquil hikes across rolling hills. It's not just the variety of experiences, but the memories sewn into its fabric that make it invaluable.

Its resilience mirrors my own - a repaired hem here, a reproofed layer there, each mend adding to its character. Now, this jacket has found a new purpose. It currently accompanies my daughter on her cycling trips to the hospital, where she serves as an intensive care doctor. The jacket’s journey from ski slopes to city streets, echoing the rhythm of our family life, symbolizes the enduring power of well-loved gear.

In a world where the fleeting often overshadows the lasting, this jacket stands as a testament to sustainability and the beauty of cherishing and reusing what we own. It's not just fabric and zippers; it's a narrative of resilience, adventure, and the love that weaves through generations.

Challenge One: Give a Voice to Your Local Environment

Heritage, Harmony, Conservation

My heart belongs to the rolling hills and open skies of Southwest England, where Dartmoor's wild beauty meets the Tamar Valley's tranquility. Here, on my farm 'Borough Farm', history whispers through generations of my family's farming tradition. I've dedicated my life to nurturing this land, farming rare breeds with a gentle touch, free from pesticides and artificial interventions. My efforts have transformed this land into a thriving haven for diverse flora and fauna.

Every day, Dartmoor's rugged wilderness reminds me of nature's raw beauty. It's here, riding through the moors or walking with my Labrador 'Alba', that I find peace and purpose. This love for my local environment inspired me to share its magic. For 15 years, I've welcomed guests to experience this enchantment through our holiday retreat, immersing them in nature's embrace.

But this isn't just about my love for the land. It's a call to protect these precious spaces for future generations. By connecting people, guests and my family's next generation to the countryside, we foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of nature, leading to more thoughtful decisions about our planet's future.

Participating in the Fjällräven Polar challenge would be more than an adventure; it would be a journey of learning and discovery. Immersing myself in the outdoor lifestyle of Northern Scandinavia, I aim to understand how people have harmoniously lived with nature on their land. This experience would not only broaden my horizons but also allow me to bring back invaluable stories, knowledge, and experiences to Borough Farm. It's about weaving the threads of their wisdom into the tapestry of my farm, enriching the connection between my guests and the natural world.

This opportunity represents a bridge between cultures and landscapes, enhancing our collective appreciation for living closely with nature.

beautiful cygnets hatching on the banks of a canal bank in Devon

Our hot tubs have become plunge pools and there is a cooling breeze at Borough Farm, if you fancy escaping the city heat for a few days we have some availability for July and just three August weekends left for some lucky guests to book.

Where could be a better place to visit in a heat wave than a cooling Dartmoor Stream .... put the sound on for maximum effect and imagine taking a dip here ....

Flying high above the sauna pod and heading down to Great Links Yurt, what a beautiful corner of the world. Thank you Charlie Smith for the footage.

Beautiful Devon at springtime nothing better !

There’s something quite mesmerising and elemental about lighting a log fire - our three holiday units each have their own fire pits making nights spent around the camp fire a wonderful way to end the day in the great outdoors #firepit #logfire #campfire #elementalliving #marshmallows #glamping #glampinguk #glampingdevon @visitdevon @visitengland @greentourism #ecotravel #goodforthesoul #devon #dartmoor #tavistock

With the last burst of Summer Sunshine this week, we grabbed the opportunity to take Great Links down for the season, what a season we have had, filled with fantastic guests and wonderful memories. Now there is a little bit of work to be done putting everything away in tip top condition and then we will soon be ready to start again for the 2020 season ! Have a great Autumm everyone !

Flashback to August, meeting this lovely guy whilst out on a boat from Newquay

We are just so excited to have these two baby hedgehogs in residence here at Borough Farm - plus their lovely mummy. A few weeks ago, I found mummy hedgehog tangled in a hay net in the barn and managed to set her free by cutting the strings on the haynet. Last Monday, whilst moving some of last years hay out of the barn, we discovered why she was in there in the first place, there was a nest with two baby hedgehogs in it right at the back of the barn. The mummy hedgehog had hollowed out a part of the hay bale for her young. I thought they had moved on to a new nest somewhere else on the farm, but the last two evenings I have managed to observe their movements, and they hadnt gone far at all. How very special they are ! Here they are late yesterday evening exploring the area outside Mr Power's stable. They are now about the size of a scotch egg !

Adorable Lavender Pekin chicks

These beautiful lavender pekin bantam chicks have just hatched out ! arent they adorable !

At Devon Yurt, we have just two yurts, Take a look here, it might help you decide which is for you ? ..... p.s. do turn the sound on ! https://www.devonyurt.co.uk
