One ewe, through lambing

What fostering includes.

A ewe through lambing, which is the single most compelling three weeks of the farming year. You get the camera access, the updates and the wool.

You get updates and photographs through the season, access to the relevant field camera, and the right to name the animal within reason. What you do not get is any ownership interest, any right to take the animal away, or any cash return of any kind.

Included

Camera access

The field they are actually in.

Updates

Photographs and notes.

Named

By you, subject to a veto.

Not an investment

No cash return, ever.

What happens

The season, from your side.

You pay once

A fixed price for one season, ring-fenced until the season is done.

You name them

Within reason. We reserve a veto and have used it twice.

The updates start

Photographs, notes from whoever is doing the work, and the relevant camera.

Something happens

Lambing, an extraction, an arrival. This is the part people come back for.

The season ends

You receive what the page says you receive, and nothing renews itself.

Wondering

Fostering one ewe, through lambing, questioned.

No. No ownership interest, no right to take it away, and no cash return of any kind. You are buying a season of updates and access.

What the page above says, plainly and without euphemism. If that answer is not one you want, the hive is the one to foster.

Where the animal is still here, yes, and a fair number of people do.

Also fosterable

The other animals

Meet them properly.

What lives on this farm, and which chapter each of them came from.

Snooping, briefly.

We use a small number of cookies to keep your basket upright and to work out which pages people actually read. We do not sell anything about you to anyone, because that would be a rotten way to behave.
