Take a deep breath—the air is alive with the scent of new growth! Daffodils pop up like tiny golden trumpets, and spring bulbs poke through the soil, giving the landscape a colourful makeover. It’s as if the whole farm is stretching, yawning, and getting ready for a brand-new chapter and as farmers we are busy tending to the start of a busy season ahead.
This is the season when we roll up our sleeves and get planting. Veggie and Flowers seedlings in the glass house are waiting for the right time to be planted directly into the soil. While the orchard continues its well-earned nap, we keep our eyes peeled for those first brave buds to show up. Patience is key, but a little excitement never hurts!
Spring transforms our accommodation too. The wattle’s golden glow fills the air and greets guests as soon as they arrive. Wander the walled garden and you’ll see fairy wrens flitting about, busy as can be building their nests and hunting for snacks to feed their hungry young. Whether you’re here to explore or just soak up the lively atmosphere, September at Little Hampton Farm is all about waking up, celebrating fresh starts, and getting swept up in the fun of spring.
Looking Forward
With the rhythms of nature as our guide, each month brings new challenges and joys to Little Hampton Farm. From the intimacy of winter’s quiet to the exuberance of spring’s return, our blog will continue to share stories, updates, and special moments for all who are drawn to rural life.
In the months ahead, expect stories of crops ripening under the sun, recipes born in the farmhouse kitchen, and tales of guests discovering the magic of the countryside. We’ll share practical advice for budding smallholders, updates on wildlife, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the daily running of the farm.
