📢 Important Farm Update 📢 A rare and unsettling e 📢 Important Farm Update 📢

A rare and unsettling event has occurred at Apple Tree Farm…

Our core admin team have abandoned ship at the same time and headed off for a well-earned long weekend of adventuring. 😱

The remaining team members were understandably struggling with the emotional impact of this unprecedented separation, so emergency measures were swiftly implemented. As you can see, life-sized (well… chair-sized) replacements have been installed around the office to provide comfort, reassurance, and the illusion that someone is still answering emails. 🪑❤️

Fear not! The out-of-office replies are activated, the farm is still running as normal, and the rest of the team are being supported through this difficult period with regular coffee breaks and emotional support from the animals.

Normal levels of admin chaos will resume on Tuesday 9th June.

Until then, please be kind to our stand-ins — they’re doing their best. 😂

The ducks bedtime routine is as reliable as the we The ducks bedtime routine is as reliable as the weather at the moment. Some nights they’re holding a rage parade around the farm house, threatening a duck coup and demanding immediate access to their quarters. Other nights they will have us running around the farm shouting ‘come on then, bed time!’ like we are wildlife sopranos, opening gates to free them from fields they willingly entered and seemingly can’t get out of. It’s like a guessing game, you never know if you will feel threatened by them or have to threaten them. Such fun! 🦆🦆🦆

It is very rare that we do this but we need to find a loving abode for Norton the rabbit. Lop x large German breed (continental). Does not get on with our other male, and he is entire. If with females he will breed! 😝 Lovely independent nature, super friendly and cuddly!
We are so excited to have been able to finally sha We are so excited to have been able to finally share our big news yesterday, and what a response we have had. Our project will be made possible thanks to #NationalLottery players, and you will be able to read more about Roots to Resilience in the report by the North Devon Gazette and soon on our website. 

Please be patient with our team as we work our way through your messages and get back to you. We are working on developing and delivering several simultaneous projects on the farm, so responses might be a bit slower than usual.

It's great to see familiar and new faces return to our home education groups - the farm was buzzing today.

After a very busy and brilliant Easter HAF programme, Apple Tree Farm will now be closed until Monday 27th April.
 
This short pause gives our amazing team (and our even harder-working animals 🐐🐑) a well-deserved rest and time to recharge.
 
Over the past few weeks, the farm has been full of energy, learning, laughter and a lot of muddy boots — and while we wouldn’t have it any other way, a little quiet time is definitely needed!

The farm phone and office will be unmanned for a few days but some of our amazing admin team will step in undercover periodically to pick up anything that is extremely urgent.
 
Thank you all for your continued support and understanding 💚
We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for the next term.
 
Until then… the animals are clocking off too 🐑😴
