First pigs born on the farmSince we started with pigs last year, we've bought in young, just weaned, pigs and reared them to fattening stage. We've kept some of the gilts (the maiden sows) and we bought Henry, our middle white boar, just before Christmas. When the gilts were big enough, we introduced them to Henry, who charmed them into his pig harem. (Guess why he's called Henry? I'll give you a clue; he's fat, light ginger and only interested in one thing.)The two Berkshire sows, sisters Anne and Mary (!), were looking fairly big and Anne farrowed nine pink and black piglets overnight. You'll be glad to know we haven't named the babies! Mary should be farrowing soon too, so they'll be piglets to see on our first open day on 13th April. |

New flavour sausages and dinner party cuts launchedYou know we sell our traditionally reared beef, lamb and pork in the new Back to Nature Farm Shop, but we have now sourced local chickens at a reasonable price too. Whole chickens as well as breast fillets, stuffed or unstuffed, are available. And have you tried our cooked meats? We are selling our homemade 'Shabden honey roast ham' and salt beef cold by the slice.Using the locally sourced chickens, we have developed two new flavour chipolatas; Chicken, sage & onion and Chicken & lemongrass. These chicken sausages are great with salads, in a sandwich, or grilled and chopped up into a pasta dish. Also new this week are Beef, tomato & onion bangers which are ideal for hot dogs as well as with gravy and mash. |
