We’ve planted native broadleaf trees with the support of the Woodland Trust, and continue to plant each winter – from Colonsay seed, as well as that from Mull, Eigg and Shetland – figuring out what works, and what doesn’t, in our exposed salty location.  Our sturdy Polycrub – a fantastic design from Shetland – is productive for leafy greens, cucumbers & tomatoes, and a flock of laying hens produces eggs for local sale.  Soon to be Hebridean mutton & pork in the freezer for sale!

It’s a whole family effort – there’s always something to do!
