Cliftons Farm

This spring has been exceptional when it comes to thriving wildlife. 

We watched a great spotted woodpecker family rear their chicks. They have now successfully fledged. 

In another tree we spotted a blue tit nest. The mum and dad have been bringing their young grubs every few minutes. They’ve also fledged now. 

Another less fortunate Wren family had built their nest inside our mower. Luckily the nest was discovered at the last moment. The nest was removed and brought into the farm kitchen where Iris has hand reared the chicks. 

The wrens are now living on our polytunnel as part of a controlled release, learning to become fully independent. They’re doing very well (hiding and staying away from humans and finding their own food) and will probably be fully released within the next couple of days. 

A wildlife camera on our farm caught some good shots of some roe deer that frequent our pastures.

What else did we spot this week? 

Field vole 

Baby squirrels 🐿️ 🐿️

Gold finches

Song thrushes

Boxing hares 

Bunnies on our campsite 🐰

Oystercatchers

Swallows 

Nut hatch

And many other common birds, bees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋

When farming organically and regeneratively you see so much more life out there. ❤️

It’s just wonderful to see and hear. 

The morning chorus at 4am 🎶 has been like a bird orchestra that has been incredibly loud! Just wonderful.

We are so grateful that we can live like this. We couldn’t do it without our loyal customers supporting us all year round. 

Thank you.

Cows self medicating. Do housed cows have this opportunity of a diverse diet?
We are told to eat a varied diet but what about the animals we eat?
Each plant has special properties available to the animals. Conventional farms don't allow for this wide diversity as they aim for a monoculture within the fields because nettles are weeds that make the farm look messy. Maybe we need to look at things differently.
Our cows eat different plants out of the hedgerows depending on their nutritional needs.
Isn't nature wonderful! ❤️❤️

For decades, the "Food Police" told us that raw milk was dangerous and that skim milk was healthy. In 2026, the script has flipped.

With the new "Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act" signed this month, the war on dairy fat is ending. But the real revolution is happening underground: the deregulation of Raw Milk.

Why does this matter? It’s about Lactase.

When you pasteurize milk (heat it to 161°F), you kill bacteria, yes. But you also destroy the enzyme Lactase, which is naturally present in milk to help you digest lactose. This is why millions of people think they are "lactose intolerant." They aren't intolerant to milk; they are intolerant to dead milk.

Raw milk is a bioactive food. It contains:

Bioavailable Calcium: Not the chalky stuff added to almond milk.

Immunoglobulins: Antibodies that support your immune system.

Butterfat: Essential for absorbing Vitamin A and D.

The establishment called it "risky." Biohackers call it "liquid gold." The freedom to choose what you put in your body is the ultimate health metric.

⚡ Vital Advice: If you can't access raw milk (check local laws), do the next best thing: Grass-Fed, Vat-Pasteurized, Non-Homogenized milk. If the cream doesn't rise to the top, it’s not real food.
