It only seems like a few days ago that we were in the trenches of all things Christmas. Christmas was our best one yet and that was largely down to having the most wonderful team of staff that made it all happen. It really was a super team effort from plucking to butchery, to shipping…
Last week we brought in all the cows and calves so that we could get as we would say three ‘cow jobs’ done…. Cow Job 1 = Scanning Cow Job 2 = Dividing the herd into two groups for the winter Cow Job 3 = Start the weaning process First job was scanning for pregnancy…
With 8 weeks to go until Christmas you might be wondering what goes into producing the centrepiece of your feast. Well we are well truly on the final countdown to Christmas…… The turkeys and geese are looking an absolute picture and are now just putting on the wonderful fat coverage that gives them that juicy…
Last Wednesday we spent a very enjoyable morning filming an educational film for the NFU Education series with Becca and Lizzie. Becca and Lizzie have done a couple of series of these films which show school children behind the scenes of working farms. Our episode was of course all about producing the centrepiece of most…
The turkeys are just over 12 weeks of age which means they are officially teenagers! They have now fully finished growing their skeletal system, so they are as tall as they are going to get and well some could well be described as a tad lanky! Now they will be growing their muscular system which…
It is all getting rather scientific out in the pasture with our group of finishing cattle. We are currently conducting two projects at the farm alongside Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Natural England. The aim is to record data from our mob grazing system to show the effectiveness of finishing cattle on our 100% pasture system….
Well the answer is both! We feed our beautiful shorthorn cattle diverse species herbal leys. This week Will and Charlie spent some time sampling a small section of the field we currently have our ‘finishing’ cattle in. Here is all the plants they found…… White Clover Timothy Grass Meadow Fiscue Common Yarrow Common Chicory Common…
Last week we enjoyed our annual trip to Germany with Will’s family visiting our family friend Margaret. Margaret lives in a tiny village called Schnackenburg in Lower Saxony which is just under 3 hrs north west of Berlin. This means a flight to Berlin from Bristol then a drive up to Schnackenburg navigating the infamous…
Yesterday we moved the whole flock from the ‘brooding shed’ across the yard to their next shed. A task which sounds much simpler than the reality!! First job was to prepare the new shed which only a few weeks ago had been the location for our Treway Fiesta. This meant Will had to erect the…

The turkeys were 4 weeks old on Friday. In some ways it doesn’t seem possible that we have had them for a month already and in others it feels like they have been here for ever! Everything feels right in the world at Treway when we have turkeys on the ground. As you can see…
The end of July and the rain has brought with it green grass! And oh how grateful we are… Nature is absolutely amazing when you work with it not against it. Our herbal leys are pretty drought resistant due to their network of long tap roots. This means they can access water that is further…
