Lucie’s Lambs
In my effort to promote local businesses during lock down, I recently connected with Lucy. Her business is based in Sevenoaks, Kent. It was very interesting to hear how lock down has affected her business and what she has been up to. This is what she said:
Lucie’s Border Collie
Living with my parents in the Kent countryside, I am lucky to have plenty of space for pet animals. Over the years, we have collected various cats and a rescue donkey in addition to my old pony and horse and the family dogs. But my pride and joy is the Border Collie (Scout) I bought while working in Ireland to help me care for my flock of pedigree Romney sheep.
Lucie’s Little Lamb
They are a bit like pets, too, especially this little fellow, who was too greedy for his mother and had to be bottle-fed. I take very good care of them – feeding them nothing but fresh grass and hay from our fields according to the principles of what is now known as regenerative agriculture but is really good old-fashioned husbandry. By doing this I am making a small contribution to improving the environment and so slowing down climate change. But it is no sacrifice because in their short happy lives the lambs produce meat that tastes so much better than what you can buy in the supermarket.
My customers are queuing up for more this autumn and you can join them here – www.lucieslambs.co.uk. You can call me on 07712690318 or follow me on my Instagram @lucietrapp or on Facebook @Lucie’s Lambs
At Lucie’s Lamb Farm every year* they tend to have a surplus of hay, which local equestrians are able to pick up in a socially distanced way straight from the field.
*Update: This year’s harvest did not create a huge surplus and has already been collected. I will keep you updated on next year’s situation.
