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.

What do you think of the renovations? Love them? Hate them? Let me know in the comments! Recommended video Homestead renovation 2022 ua-cam.com/video/aXGk8iCvmTo/v-deo.html
If you like the marble look but not the marble price, have you taken a look at Stonecoat Countertops & others like them? They're poured epoxy resin, can be made to look like any stone you want it to resemble, but unlike sticky back plastic, withstand temps of 230*C. It has a lot of other great qualities, too, including price.
Love the changes liz and we have just been to Norfolk in a cottage for a week over Christmas and they had that very same towel rail/ radiator and I thought it was lovely. Also love the sliding shower screen. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen after it’s finished and what a great idea for the worktops
Beautiful Job you two! Your talents never end!
Thank you! We didn't do the work (apart from the painting which I'm still doing bit by bit), but I did design the layout and choose the fittings.
Wow! I can't believe that it has been 2 and 1/2 years. The changes look great.
Yes, I was a bit surprised when I realised how long we'd been here.
Thanks for 10 minute videos ❤ perfect length of time!
You're so welcome!
Fabulous to see you getting sorted Liz!
You've given me some new perspective on a bunch of ongoing problems I've been struggling with too...big thanks and have a great Yuletide 🙏
Glad it was helpful. Seasons Greetings to you!
It looks very nice. Try looking up how to epoxy your counter tops. There are professionals on UA-cam, who shows how to do it (though it's better to watch 20 videos, than just one, to get a feel for the techniques, and perhaps rehearse on a garden table or something). You can give it a marbled look, and it wont scratch, it won't peel and you can put a burning hot pan on it, without leaving a mark.
I'm not sure it's worth it for a room that we'll be using for a short-ish time. I hope to have the kitchen moved within 18 months and imagine that we'll have wooden work tops in the new kitchen.
I got my cabinets from Habitat for humanity. Really nice ones
We are recycling the cabinets that are already here and I hope to buy different doors and handles (looking for secondhand before I go out and buy brand new).
That’s wonderful and great idea! We’ve become such a throw away society it’s refreshing to find people that make such wise and thoughtful decision … love the sink you gave your friend!
Looking forward to more. Bathroom looks Very beautiful
Thanks Lisa!
Merry Christmas, your home will be lovely.
Thank you! Merry Christmas.
I envy you ! I love that you recycle and don’t need all the top of the range kitchen stuff, what you cook is the main thing.
Thank you! We really don't need top of the range stuff, as long as it functions it is fine by me! I still use my mother's old hand whisk and bean slicer - I've found nothing on the market that does as good a job!
They look so good! Well done 🤩
Thank you 😋
Beautiful bathroom, I can’t believe it’s been 2.5 years already
Thank you! The time has flown by, but that means it won't be too long before the garden starts to look very full and lush!
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you all and a happy healthy prosperous New year
Thank you very much, and Seasons Greetings to you!
Lovely bathroom!
Thank you!
Going through renovations is such an inconvenience. But the results are exciting. Nice bathroom.
It really is a pain in the proverbial, but yes, the results are completely worth it!
Happy for you. Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year 🎉
Happy New Year!
Oooo the bathroom looks really lovely calming and relaxing for when you’ve had a hard day in the garden 🤪
So happy for you even though it feels like a lonnnnnng journey to completion ❤
Thanks so much 😊 I think it will be a very long journey to completion, which I why I'm making the kitchen feel nice next, even though I know it's temporary (because temporary could be 6 months or 6 years!)
looking lovely liz
Thank you 😊
Are there any more renovation recordings Liz? Love them :)
I think your bathroom is lovely .we should all do things the way that suits us. Enjoy your renovating. 😊 looking forward to seeing more. 😊
Thank you!
How exciting! And what a lovely bathroom! When moving into our home we got someone's kitchen too and designed around it. We were glad to at least already have a working bathroom (albeit ugly, but useable!). Yours is lovely x
Thank you! The kitchen was awful when we first moved in, definitely not a cook's kitchen! We've already made a few changes to the layout and hopefully the next steps will make it a pleasure to use for the foreseeable future until we've saved up enough money to move the kitchen to another room in the house.
Your new bathroom looks lovely. I’m sure you will enjoy it. I have recently had my kitchen renovated and it was very exciting and I’m very pleased with the result. Good luck with the rest of your plans.
Thank you! How exciting that you've had your kitchen renovated. I think that kitchens and bathrooms set the tone for the rest of the house.
Liz it’s beautiful! Congratulations. Merry Christmas
Thank you Merry Christmas to you too!
Happy new year and good health👍🙋🏻♀️
Happy New Year Mandy!
Your new bathroom is just gorgeous! I love it!❤
We certainly think it is lovely!
I got the same marble sticky paper ( contact paper) in my kitchen. Love cleans easy.
It completely changed the feel of the room when I used it on the long run of work surface where the sink is.
Hi, you are making a lot of progress with the cottage, the new bathroom is gorgeous, can't wait to see the full finished space, merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
What a lovely renovation and lovely plants, Liz!🪴🥰Happy New Year! Wishing you a bountiful and prosperous year ahead❤
Happy new year!
The bath is beautiful! Can't wait to see the next room. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you! You too! Hopefully I'll be able to show you the kitchen before the end of January (at least that's the theory).
Love the bathroom! Great job
Thank you!
Delightful Liz
Thank you Margaret. I wish the weather had been kinder for you when you visited South Wales - Merry Christmas!
It looks nice,merry Christmas and a happy new year too
Thank you very much, Seasons Greetings to you too.
Very very nice!
Great job! Looking forward to seeing the kitchen updates!❤
Thank you!! 😊
Love the bathroom Liz!!!! Excited for your kitchen update. Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you too!
I think it looks lovely Liz. So exciting doing it bit by bit. Lots of planning. Have a lovely Christmas x
Thanks Jenny. Happy Christmas to you too.
Great job. Hope it’s luxurious and comfortable
It feels very luxurious and yes, it's super comfortable. Baths are long and very relaxing, showers are powerful and invigorating!
Lovely bathroom and changes. I'm sure the kitchen will be especially exciting for you.
I can't believe it's 2 and a half years. I'm in Carmarthenshire too. 😊
Wishing you both a happy Christmas.
Jane
Thanks so much Jane! 😊 I hope the weather hasn't been as wet and windy where you are as it has here. Merry Christmas to you too!
@@LizZorab Hi, sadly we have. I'm on the coast near Burry port. I'm trying to make a kitchen garden in an area I've now fenced off from my dogs north facing and hillside in Welsh weather really is going to be challenging. But I'll give it a go.
there is nothing I fear more than a bathroom with glass panel in door
We talked for a long time about this and Mr J felt he didn't want a full glass door (opaque glass) or a half glazed door for safety reasons, but he's happy with this door's smaller panels. Fortunately, this glass is very opaque and you really can't make out someone in the bathroom when you are in the kitchen. Likewise the glass in the window obscures any glances from outside!
250! renovations?! lucky you! 🤍🕊
It's taking time (and all of our money), but we are slowly turning the house to a comfortable condition.
thank you for sharing your happy adventures, @@LizZorab
