Brrrr! 🥶

It was technically above freezing today in Newcastle...

Here's @ouseburnfarm.bsky.social orchard pond this afternoon.

On the right is Byker Bridge. On the left is the Metro Viaduct, and below is Ouseburn Farm, one of my favourite places in Newcastle.

One reason we love Ouseburn is because we have so many amazing small businesses here. From Northern Print to the Seven Stories bookshop (and many more), you are spoilt for choice. Shop local and support small businesses if you can!

If you’re visiting our shop this festive season, you’ll be served by either our lovely retail supervisor Michelle, or Jen, our brilliant volunteer. You might even be served by one of our adult placements who are learning key customer service skills with Michelle. 👋🏻

It’s Black Friday, and we know your inboxes will be filled with tempting deals. However, choosing to shop small means you can support your favourite venues and give back to your community. 💚

If you know anyone who might benefit from joining our Placement Programme, please get in touch with Andrea for more info: andrea.haynes@ouseburnfarm.org.uk

Anna, who has additional needs attends our Livestock workshop. She was previously on placement at Cafe Beam, so this has been a lovely progression. Anna told us, “Coming to the farm makes me feel happy. I like learning new things and socialising. My favourite animal is Willow the Cow.”

Meet Gemma! She's blind and has mild learning difficulties. “I’ve never seen an animal, but I've felt a crocodile (!) & tarantula. I love the feel of a snake, a tortoise & Bruce the Bearded Dragon. I love fluffy things too. The farm makes me happy. My fave thing is feeding & touching the animals.”
