Huxtable Farm Bed & Breakfast Accommodation
This is a beautiful time of year, when the snowdrops are out followed by sunshine, yellow daffodils and primroses. The birds are busy preparing thier nests and deer, both roe and Exmoor red can be seen grazing in the woodland.
Mid Februarry frogs and toads come to spawn in the pond.
The sheep will be lambing during March, do come and share the wonderful experience of witnessing a birth or two.
If the hens decide to go broody mid March we may have some chicks hatching around Easter time!
The orchard apples are collected and the harvest is in. This is the time of year the rams are put back in with their girls, tupping time!
The darker nights are drawing in so it's lovely having had a day out, enjoying the autumn colours, to return to the warm comfort of the log fire. Explore the farm with it's Devon Wildlife Farm Trail and find a variety of fungi.
