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.

It's unbelievable how much you accomplished! I am absolutely impressed!!!

[mountainsagegarden]

Love how you are showing us how an experienced gardener can go about creating a new garden space. Always with thoughts of efficiency and looking for ways to make gardening easier and more manageable! 👍🙂

[zoewhite]

I didn't know that was how you're meant to harvest Welsh onion - I just snip mine when I need a bit, like chives. Would love a video about them.

[katyt]

My goodness, you've been busy! It's looking amazing, well done! It's so encouraging to see how much can be done in a short time 😍

[mudoh]

Loved the tour Liz. Great to see your progress.

[TheEnglishladyskitchengarden]

Crikey Liz, you've been busy. It looks smashing and I can't wait to see some harvesting videos.

[maryann]

I love, love watching you go through your garden and sharing it all. What a gem of a gardener you are! I'm learning so much watching your videos. I also bought your book and, oh gosh, I so loved it.

[LyndseyMacPherson]

The polyculture you've created feels like the stuff of magic. And this tour showed how you weave this magic, which is similar to world-building in 3-D modelling, except you do it in the real world. Love it!
(Also, applauding w/ you over parsnips. 💚 Roast beast w/ carrots, potatoes and parsnips...)

[frankfrank]

[marinaaleksjutina]

[LorellaPlanBeeOrchardandFarm]

Your vegetable garden is looking amazing! But what I’m most impressed by is that you can rattle off all the names of the different varieties of everything that you’re throwing in there. I love how you mix ornamentals and food together and have multicultural beds.

[margaretsofocleous]

What fantastic progress you have made in your new garden beds. They are looking wonderful

[marksallotmentplot]

The new garden is looking great Liz. Looking forward to following along to see how it looks throughout the year

[jamellakhanworrell]

Your garden is looking absolutely gorgeous. So organized and weed free. Here in Trinidad and Tobago it’s the start of the rainy season and everything looks lush for the moment. My garden looks almost like yours for now. 😊😊hopefully it remains that way.

[lynnpurfield]

Wow, I thought, "how many videos have I missed???"
Well done Liz, you worked so hard and so quickly. It looks fabulous. It will be so much easier to manage than you old veg plot.

[kathrynmettelka]

You have a wonderful garden already, and it will be delightful to follow its progress. In these days of transportation bottlenecks, having your own vegetables will be fabulous. I garden in 8b Austin, Texas, where we have already had a 100 degrees Fahrenheit and will have more when summer officially begins. The lettuce has bolted, so I'm growing a cutting garden. As you might expect, everything until fall (November) will need shade, plants and people. All gardeners have to adjust to the climate where they grow.

[karenslater]

Looking good it’s getting so lush. Happy times

[ZeNex]

i have 80ft of mud. unsure to do raised beds, costly wood or just do rows in the mud etc.. lots to learn. inherited several years old asparagus and strawaberries for now

[Elizabethpacey]

Wow! The polytunnel alone is bigger than our whole allotment!!!
