Oats Update

A number of us gathered on the Sheep’s head peninsular last week to visit the oats that have been sown there by local farmers asd part of the Bantry Community  Supported Agriculture project, initiated by John Dolan.

The field of  oats looked great and certainly have a great spot overlooking the south coast on the stunning Sheep’s Head peninsular. People were encouraged to bring scarecrows or better still dead crows to help protect the crop,

Harvest will be around the end of the month, and will be done partially with scythes.
