Keep Up With What’s Happening Here On The Farm...

A mix of information about the countryside, the farming year and snippets of family life here at Great Tre-rhew… sign up for our monthly newsletter and keep in touch.

We promise we won’t overload your inbox, we’ll never share your details and we’ll guard them with our life... or at least Lass will, she’s very good at keeping an eye on stuff!

Clippings and cloppings!

We’d love to have one of those swanky news pages with lovely PDF versions of the articles we’ve been featured in for you to read right here and now (perhaps even with turning pages)… sounds so easy… but sadly it’s not.

So – liking the simple things in life – I’m afraid for the time being all we can put here are links to some of the features and articles we’ve appeared in… if you’d like to read them in the flesh, why not pop along to a course?  I’ll happily show you my clippings!

South Wales Argus, August 1st 2012

The lovely Kath Skellon produced this very informative article after a chat (which went on a long time). Thank you Kath.

Western Mail, Country & Farming supplement, March 6th 2012

The Western Mail’s Sally Williams included this article in Country and Farming; it’s a great intro to what we do (shame they’ve left the photos off the online version, but there’s plenty for you to see in our gallery).

South Wales Argus, March 6th 2012

Our first centre spread!  All about new life on Welsh farms and the “unusual” ways farmers in Monmouthshire are finding to make an income.  “Unusual”?  Us?  Never!


BBC Radio Wales, Country Focus, March 2012

The lovely Emma Thomas came all the way out to see us on a Sunday morning, just to record our ramblings; she edited us well!

BBC Radio Wales, Jamie Owen and Louise Elliott (9am weekdays), February 3rd 2012

Our first time on live radio – we’d never even been near a radio studio before – so it went OK, though we say it ourselves.

Abergavenny Chronicle, February 24th 2012

It’s the photo which makes this one – Lass doesn’t stay still for long!

Western Mail, February 22nd 2012

The Western Mail paid us a visit literally days before we opened Kate’s Country School – it was a little hectic at the time but we hope the photographer’s shoes recovered!

Country Life, February 29th 2012

We’ve even had a brief mention in Country Life; amazing, but sadly too small to be on their website… maybe next time?

Smallholder Directory, February 26th 2012

It’s great to be included on the Smallholder Directory website – thank you!

Garstang Courier, December 7th 2010

Kate’s parents’ local paper, proud of their local lass, but the best bit… you MUST check out the photo caption… we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

Farmer’s Guardian, July 23rd 2010

Written just after Lambing Live, this puts what we do into a proper farming perspective; after all, farming is our family’s life and livelihood, not TV appearances (though we love the mix!)
