About Us.
Byther Farm is a small organic homestead, being designed and managed using permaculture practices. We aim for self-sufficiency in fruit and vegetables for increased self reliance and better resilience to the modern world. I recognise that we are unlikely to be truly self sufficient, but do the best we can. I share our home with my loving husband, Mr J and our cat, Monty.
We are a fifty-something couple who live on a smallholding in Carmarthenshire, Wales. We are going green and creating a gentler, cleaner and more healthy life for our family.
Having had a highly successful smallholding in Monmouthshire, we hope to recreate the abundance at our new home. There will be a large organic kitchen garden with no dig gardening raised beds and young food forest in which to grown our fruit and vegetables.
We keep a few sheep and Aylesbury ducks.

You know the videos are being enjoyed, when people ✔️👍 before even watching.
Lovely we are under snow now
🍁🎃🍁
One of our pear trees has blooms on it. I expect such foolishness from the strawberries but a pear? 🤷♀
Kale tastes better (apparently) after it gets a frost. I'm not a fan of it, but I did get some that was frozen and cooked in scrambled eggs. It was good.
This year has truly been strange. I'm in a temperate rainforest zone, yet we're just getting our first true rain since early July. Yes, a rainforest zone dealing with drought.
Spring was equally strange it didn't get above 10°C until late June. That stalled all the warm weather vegetables, so they really had a tough summer.
Hopefully the weather patterns might calm down some so I can at least get some leafy greens without slugs (spring) or bolting.
As someone said, "there's always next year".
I’m not a big fan of kale but my chickens love it. I like the shoots on spring which are like sprouting broccoli. So everybody’s happy
Amazing abundance for the time of year! what are the dimensions of your raised beds?
Hi Liz, thank you for all your videos. Please can you tell me where I might buy the tubing that you use to make the net covering for your veg? I’ve tried hose pipe on bamboo poles but it’s not very sturdy. I think you said in one of your videos that it is water pipe, is that what I should ask for if I go to somewhere like B&Q?
Really interesting video Liz. It’s so helpful that you say what you’re growing & also how you use it in cooking. Thanks
Stunning!! You’re amazing 🤩
Lovely – can’t believe how much has grown in such short time Liz 😊
We don’t like the taste of kale either, but we have a nice recepy with curry, apple and pieces of bacon, which makes it eatable.
We love using kale chopped up in winter soups and stews. Also the curly kale makes great kale chips 👍🏼
I love the look of the scarlet kale where did you get the seed please?xx
everything here is dead and frost-killed. I am in zone 5a in the US. We cannot have an outdoor garden into the late fall. Not going to happen….too bad
Are Welsh bunching onions the same as Egyptian Walking Onions? And are Perennial onions the same too? I hear different people calling things different names and I don't know if they're talking about the same plants, or different plants.
Not workable in Brooklyn, jealous of your more temperate climate but I do love a proper winter being from Poland so … we’ll just patiently wait for spring while enjoying lots of 🌨, hopefully!
How do you pickle your nasturtium seeds please? Jinxy
Try eating the Florence fennel flowers…delicious apples nyense aniseed😀
Siberian kale is so much more tender and tasty. I grew both last year, and the Siberian won the day. First year eating kale as well! 🇨🇦👍❤️
I have kale seedlings that are from the original plants. Should I move them to my poly tunnel or leave them?
I think one of my favorite things about UK people is their frequent use of the word "keen". 🏴 Our language over here in the US has gone into full mess mode. I have to watch you and Huw to remind me that there are still people who talk like grown ups in the world.
Liz, you are such an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing, my own rather modest veg garden is nothing like as busy as yours, and I'm already planning how and where I can grow more next year lol
Our family's favourite kale dish is Dutch Boerenkool Stampot with smoked sausages and gravy. I use the International Cuisine recipe, but then make up my own gravy using the sausage drippings. If you like mashed potatoes and sausages you'll likely enjoy this!
I don't like the taste of kale neither but I chop it up as small as mint for mint sauce and then add it to stirfry or casseroles where the taste is disguised. I don't use very much per meal – a small handful. =-)
fair play its all looking great well done liz
Hello Liz. I have direct sown cawli and broccoli, in my raised beds. Am I hoping for a miracle, or is this a probability rather than a possibility? I’ve never sown for winter growth before, any advise is more than welcome TiA
I love the rosebay willow herb – and so do the bees!
Thanks for your sharing the useful video. I love to wait for new video.
Did you say you were taking cuttings of the variegated kale? How do you do that? Are you able to show us? I would love to know! Thanks!
Bacon or smoked ham hock makes kale palatable. I cook it Southern (USA) style like collard greens.
Are you planting the whole garlic bulb vs each clove? Just curious I divided into cloves and planted
Hi Liz, you have a vast area to grow all Year. its amazing, always lots of detail & information about all your plants. thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
good
