Harvest time is nearly here!

For many, it is now the start of the school holidays, when families come to Humble Bee Farm for a relaxing break.

With the glorious weather we’ve had lately, we can’t wait to welcome everyone to our caravan and campsite, wigwams and cottages, not forgetting our lovely holiday apartment in Filey!

Now the agricultural show season is in full swing: Farmer Percy and wife Julia visited the Great Yorkshire Show, while Farmer Percy has also had his judging ‘hat’ on this week when he judged cattle in a cattle ring. Agricultural shows are a chance for everyone to see how hard the industry works, while at the same time offering people the chance to meet up with fellow farmers and enjoy the summer weather.

The combine harvester has been just been serviced and is ready to use as the harvest season approaches. The golden fields are beckoning, the combine is now ready – Farmer Percy is in for a busy time!

Here at Humble Bee Farm, we are very lucky to have incredible countryside and beautiful villages surrounding us. So we were delighted when the judges from the Best Kept Village competition visited us last week. They were very impressed by the farm, including our hanging baskets, flower borders and the general layout of Humble Bee itself. So who knows, we could be entered as part of the Best Kept Village competition – watch this space.

The children staying at the farm have been busy collecting eggs for their breakfast - our hens, being free range, lay them just about anywhere, so it's great fun to 'hunt the egg' - even the grown-ups enjoy it!

Finally, we’d like to thank Richard, Rose and family for this lovely comment after their stay with us earlier this month: “We have just had a lovely weekend at the camp site. The site is really clean and modern and really well laid out. The play area was great and again modern and safe. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable, we certainly intend on visiting again soon.”

Let’s hope everyone who stays at Humble Bee Farm has as good a time as Richard and Rose. Thanks also to Kevin Groocock for another lovely bird photograph - this time a corn bunting.

More from Humble Bee next week!
