18.01.2022 Poplar for dinner anyone? #huonvalley #ewesandrams #cliftonfarm

16.01.2022 It's as though the Huon Valley has been holding her breath for a little while now. Tonight, it feels she has breathed a sigh of relief, and some can return home for now. Our ewes however, are only interested in one thing. #keepaneyeontasfire #huonvalleyfires #firemenandwomenareheros #farmlife #community #tasfire #itsnotoveryet

15.01.2022 It’s been a while since we’ve checked in and said hi. We’re still here, doing the things we do. Hoping to get some lamb to you soon (you know who you are and we’ll be in touch soon). We’ve been taking some family time out- St Helens, Bay of Fires, Derby- Tasmania really is a special and incredible place to do our lives. Think beachside fires, mountain trails, local produce, family, friends. Have you been exploring our state? #huonvalley #tobyschrapelfreelancephotography #lovethisplace #cliftonfarm

14.01.2022 If you have an interest in healthy livestock or are keen to learn more- NRM South has been busy organising the following workshops. Contact [email protected] for registration or more information.

13.01.2022 Remember Queenie and her lambs from a few months back? (Scroll down). She and one of her lambs say hello. You can say hello to her at the Huon Show (fingers crossed!!). #shearingtomorrow #ewesandlambs #cliftonfarm #huonvalley #huonag

12.01.2022 What's not to love about this time of year? #cliftonfarm #huonvalley #autumnsunshine

11.01.2022 Today is a pot-on-the-fire sort of day. It’s cold, we’re all inside. Have you got any shanks in the freezer that need using? I’ve just added 2-4 lamb shanks (I had 2 little shanks I added as well), 1 onion, 6-8 smashed cloves garlic, herbs from the garden- 2 bay leaves, thyme, sage, oregano, rosemary, 2 tbs cider vinegar, 1/2 tsp whole black pepper, small tbs whole coriander & cumin, salt. Add water to cover meat (photo before I finished adding water). We’ve got ours on the f...ire and I’ll take it off after lunch, mid afternoon. Aiming for low heat. Keep an eye on it, and don’t let boil. Then I’ll the remove bones, drain stock off & set aside, and add vegetables to the pot from the garden, think carrots, beans, zucchini, buckwheat groats or pearl barley. Shred meat from bones and add back to soup. Taste and add in extra seasoning as required. #huonvalley #pandemiccooking #homefire

11.01.2022 Dinner time #huonvalley #cliftonfarm

10.01.2022 Despite the cold, the increased urgency to stock up on fire wood - we've shared some perfect Fridays with Simple Cider. Think blue calm autumn skies, fire cooked orchard lunches, great company and old cider apple varieties. We won't be making cider this year, but had the pleasure to share our cider apples with fellow small local cider makers Patrick, Dave & Emily. Looking forward to the finished product! #eatlocal #huonvalley #cliftonfarm #simplecider #goodtimes #oldapples

09.01.2022 The one that got away. Grow where you’ve been sown, even if it sometimes feels like you’re out on a limb (of grass)

08.01.2022 From our kids to yours. #wearegoingonabearhunt

08.01.2022 We are lost with on the banks of our river with James Rebanks so much so that we purchased a his copy so we can read it together with her Huonville Library copy. ... I would have to work out how to make money from our land without wrecking it. I had inherited a complex bundle of economic and ecological challenges - and that, perhaps, was what it really meant to be a farmer.. Yep.... The farm was a lonely place- a poorer thing when it wasn’t shared. What a funny year it’s been- we’re missing our backpackers and the family we share with them. Looking forward to utopia (and the last section of his book).

07.01.2022 Thank goodness the 175mm of rain from Mt Wellington/kunanyi hasn’t all come at once. There is a lot of water on the ground, but it could be much worse. #huonvalley #floodwatch #farmingonafloodplain

06.01.2022 We've been munching on Gravenstein Apples... a 17th century Apple thought to have originated from Grafenstein Castle in Holstein, Germany. These guys are crisp, fresh (picked this morning!) and delicious. Great for both cooking and eating. You'll find them at the Willie Smith's Apple Shed Artisan and Produce Market in the Huon Producers' Network stall.

05.01.2022 So it begins. Meet Queenie, our boys hand reared ewe. They were delighted this morning that Queenie had twins last night. #cliftonfarm #huonvalley #lambspam #pleaserememberthatyouhavetwobabies #ewesofcliftonfarm

04.01.2022 Spring is sprung. Everything is on the move- which is great when you have plenty of grass eating mouths to feed. Though anyone else feel as though some of those winter jobs on the list might not get done? #slowdownspring #huonvalley #grassfedlamb

04.01.2022 Even the tractors are keeping their distance today. #huonvalley #washyourhands #socialdistancing #farmlife #autumnsunshine

02.01.2022 While we've been squirrelling away, doing what we do - we have had the privilege to lease a field to Andrew & Naomi of the Huon Grain Shed. With extensive experience growing grain in South Australia, they have been nurturing wheat, spelt and oats at latitude 43 degrees south. A few weeks ago (before the fires), we made the freshest, most delicious, nuttiest loaf of spelt bread using FRESH Huon grain! If you'd like some locally grown Huon Grain (or if your animals or garden ne...eds straw), contact Andrew at the Huon Grain Shed. #huonvalley #smallproducers #porridgeforbreakfast #freshspeltbread

01.01.2022 Some days don’t end like you’ve planned.
