Silvie and Wyc at Ty Gwennol run a small-scale oat m*lk production business supplying local shops with a glass bottle return scheme. They are also working with Llafur-Ni to grow rare welsh heritage oats, so one day they can be used commercially again. Our main crop is rotated with a small flock of shetland sheep. There are also young hazel and elder orchards. Silvi makes natural skin care products using home grown herbs. These are sold locally. They live in a load-bearing straw bale house and enjoy growing veg and fruit.
