24.01.2022 We've got some new friends... #bintysfarm #wool #fleece #fibre #fiber #cornishmerino #highwelfare #fleeceflock #fiberflock #finewool #cornwall

24.01.2022 We've not updated you lovely lot on the building work recently, so here we go... - It is watertight (mostly) - There is underfloor heating - Binty has bought some LED colour changing lights so we can have discos...I mean, ambient lighting... On the downside... - There still isn't a kitchen - The marmalade supplies are running low and Binty may need to borrow a friend's kitchen if we run out of stock! #bitnysfarm #update #extension #renovation #positive #moremarmalade #heating #transformation #chaos #arewedoneyet

23.01.2022 There are a few sparse bits of colour in the garden and the little bumble bees are making the most of them! #bintysfarm #garden #hebe #purple #sparse #autumn #bumbleebee #bee

23.01.2022 Binty is off on Watch this afternoon and it is windy. Very windy! So windy, that they have had to lower their flags and storm sock! To put things in perspective, a force 9 ia classed as a 'strong gale' but referred to by thr MET office as a 'severe gale'. A force 10 is a storm, 11 is a violet storm and 12 is a hurricane!... #bintysfarm #nci #lookout #lookoutfriday #volunteer #windy #gale #srronggale #severegale #beaufortscale #themoreyouknow

22.01.2022 Boscastle is full of all sorts of magical things (we're looking at you @museum_of_witchcraft_and_magic ) and Binty has been collecting rowan berries to make in to little protection charms. Rowan Charms are designed to keep bad luck away from where they are hung. Binty has one in her house and #bintysfarmontour keeps one in the car. Each charm is made in a specific, traditional way that has been passed down generations. There are a limited number of charms available, and the...y can be found in our #etsyuk shop. The one in the picture is a very special Year Charm...we only make a few of these each year, but that is another story! #bintysfarm #rowan #rowanberries #charm #rowancharm #protectioncharm #hedgewitch #handmade #blessed #boscastle #magic #witch #wiccan #pagan #safe #blessedbe #madeincornwall #madeinboscaste

21.01.2022 This Thursday we have decided to do a public service announcement. Following a glut of mint from the Pimm's border (which is now the mint boarder because the strawberries are all gone), #bintysfarmontour thought mint infused vodka would be a fantastic idea. It wasn't. Thank goodness they didn't make a whole batch!... Apparently they will try again but first make some sort of extraction from the mint leaves rather than just sitting them in Vodka for a week... ...does anyone remember Mrs Cropley from The Vicar of Dibley? #bintysfarm #publicserviceannouncement #vodka #mint #mintvodka #fail #tryagain #mrscropley #vicarofdibley #autumnspread #homebrew #vodkainfusion

20.01.2022 Today is #bintysfarmontour Byron's birthday and Binty has once again surpassed herself with the birthday card! "What do you want to do today, Byron?" "Can we lay some gravel?" "...for your birthday."... "Yes." Happy birthday, worker bee! #bintysfarm #birthday #sunday #huddersfield #happybirthday #byron

20.01.2022 Is anyone else feeling a bit like Mr Darcy today? It's half way through the working week and the weather has really made things hard going! We'd love to share pictures of the extension progress with you, but it is currently covered in very attractive blue tarpaulins. We'd also love to show you pictures of our new woollies but they are unimpressed by the weather, too. Someone told them that Cornwall would have better weather than Scotland...... #bintysfarm #humpday #wednesday #labrador #dogsofinsta #snooze #sleep #tired #weather #badweather #rainydays #relax #updates #hibernation #smallholding #cornwall

17.01.2022 Does anyone else remember that hot ball-thing in the sky? It was rather nice, wasn't it! We aren't ones to complain, as even though the rain and wind can make working on the holding slow and hard, it is lovely to have seasons that are so different from one another. Despite the terrible things going on this year, we were all very lucky to have such glorious sunshine for so much of it.... Don't forget, even when things are looking bleak, the sun will always come up, and even if it isn't bright, it will always be there shining in the background. Stay safe, lovely people and be awesome to each other #bintysfarm #positive #positivity #positivevibes #goodvibes #beawesome #staysafe #thursday #sea #harbour #cliff #boscastle #sun #home #postitivethroughts #staysafe

14.01.2022 Our little corner of Boscastle is exceedingly crafty and we wanted to share the talents of our wonderful neighbours with you! 'Winging It' is run by Lizzie who is always painting. She painted the wonderful flowers, bees and butterflies in our Craft Shed and is always working on something interesting. We thought we'd share her latest piece of work - a stunning hand painted surfboard finished with gold leaf rails. This board spent many a happy day on the waves, but has sinc...e been retired to show off this amazing new look. Lizzie is a lady of many talents and some of the little cuttlefish and squid even have bright little epoxy eyes! (We loved this bit!) All of the mica that gives parts of the this board its sparkle is ethically sourced, too making this board pretty awesome. #bintysfarm #wingingit #localpeople #locallymade #ethical #ethicalart #epoxy #surfboard #resin #epoxyresin #mica #ethicalmica #painted #handpainted #talented #boscastleartists #art #sea #cuttlefish #squid #loveit #craftycorner #etsy #etsyuk #localseller #cornishmade #goldeleaf #gold #ink #acrylic

13.01.2022 Good morning everyone, and happy Monday! Mr Darcy was such a poser yesterday that we just had to share this one with you #bintysfarm #monday #happymonday #newweek #newstart #mrdarcy #labrador #dogsoginsta #labsofinsta #poser #swimming #walking #boscastle #river #riverswim #cornwall #handsome #dog

13.01.2022 Lookout Friday! It has been a little while since we have done one of these. Binty hasn't had a chance to take a recent picture yet so we've got one from the archives. This looks like Rapeseed, but we could be wrong! Has anyone got any questions about the Lookout or the NCI?... We realise we mention it a lot but our newer followers may think we're just obsessed with a folly! Ask away, lovelies! #bintysfarm #forraburry #lookout #boscastle #stitches #volunteer #nci #cliff #isolated #history #nationaltrust #ask #questiontime #qanda

13.01.2022 When planning a build or renovation, it is very important that you know what can and can't be moved. Pops and Binty have come up with a fool-proof method for this! #bintysfarm #renovation #extension #newkitchen #supportingwalls #dwarfwalls #foolproof #clear #communication #smallholding

12.01.2022 Those of you that follow our Etsy shop may have seen the latest addition to our charm family - Sloe Charms! The bright, bold rowan charms often steal the limelight but sloes have their own story. They help to gather energy and dispel negativity and can also be used in purification and exorcisms (not that we've tried those!). These berries are fresh at the moment, but once they have dried they will be much smaller just like their rowan counterparts. We're contemplating strin...ging them in copious amounts to help ward off anything else that 2020 wants to throw at us! #bintysfarm #newproduct #charm #wicca #wiccan #witch #pagan #sloe #sloeberries #sloecharm #protection #energy #negativity #pentagram #boscastle #special #handmade #blessed #blue #blackthorn

11.01.2022 Now that the cooler seasons are finally setting in we're missing the warmth of the Summer, and Mr Darcy is missing louging around on the lawn. On the bright side, the craft shed is wonderfully warm and snuggly! #bintysfarm #tbt #reflecting #summer #autumn #cooler #blacklab #lovemydog #dogslife

09.01.2022 Poor William isn't having a great month...some new chap has come along and stolen all of his girlfriends! He and Houdini are hanging out the the bachelor field feeling a bit sorry for themselves. We're sorry William! #bintysfarm #sorry #girlfriends #single #singlelife #batchelors #lads #william #ram #ryelandram

09.01.2022 Did somebody say 'weekend'? It is probably more likely that someone opened a packet of crisps...the antennae of the BFLs pick up the sound of food with very little effort! #bintysfarm #sheep #curioussheep #ears #bigears #antennae #weekend #tgifriday #fridayfeeling

09.01.2022 Did we mention HATS?! Probably, but we've got a funky one to spotlight this morning for you :) Presenting: Spriggan!... This awesomely funky hat is knitted in British-spun wool and has a tapering point that ends in a tassel. We (Lara) designed this after wanting to make a Cornish-pisky type hat, but with more pizzazz. We currently have two Spriggans; one adult and one child, so don't miss out! (We can make them to order, it just depends on how busy the Chief Knitter is!) #bintysfarm #hat #hats #winterhat #woollyhat #purewool #britishmade #pizzazz #funky #hippy #spriggan #pixie #pisky #tassel #adult #child #madetoorder

09.01.2022 Today Binty is experimenting with some rosehips that she foraged from the local hedgerows. There are two types of rosehips - we'll do a little bit on them at another point for you all when we look in to foraging more. In the mean time, Binty will get this made up and we will do a taste test. Yum!... #bintysfarm #foraging #rosehips #roses #vitaminC #cooking #trial #traditional #homemade #hedgerowfood #kitchen #newheritage #naturesbounty #cornwall

08.01.2022 We've nearly gone a whole week without mentioning hats! Is that an achievement? It should be! #bintysfarmontour have promised that they haven't knitted any more hats. But they have found some more that they knitted earlier for us to put online. This is the peril of working and hobbying in the wool industry! ... #bintysfarm #hat #handmade #bobblehat #makeinuk #ukmade #handknitted #handknitting #etsyuk #smallmaker #artisan #smallbusiness #stash #knitting #madebyus

06.01.2022 Binty can't remember when she took this picture but the sunset is stunning! We're very lucky to be able to get a view like this! #bintysfarm #sunset #stunning #shaow #light #colour #silhouette #sky #cornishsky #boscastle #photography #nofilter #kitchenview #view

02.01.2022 Binty has been packing today's orders ready for the afternoon post Our packaging is eclectic to say the least. We use what we have only buy packaging in when we need to. These lovely blue sleeves were originally used for April and Steve's wedding information for guests, and we ordered a few too many...the small charms fit perfectly in them though! We will be re-doing our packaging when #bintysfarmontour return as we'd like to have something a bit more cohesive!... #bintysfarm #post #postrun #postday #packaging #reduce #reuse #recycle #overorder #charm #blesscharm #revamp #thankyou #smallbusiness #perfectpackaging #blueisnice #organzabag #postoffice #royalmail #cornishbusiness
