The very first of our tulips were picked last weekend – and the displays will grow over the coming weeks as the thousands of autumn planted bulbs come to the fore. Those of you who have been visiting the farm have been able to watch the shoots grow over the last months and at last …
Lots of delicious pork this week from our two over-wintered pigs. Gloucester Old Spot/Oxford and Sandy crosses, these were big pigs – what used to be called bacon pigs rather than porkers. Covered in a good layer of fat and well-marbled throughout, the meat is delicious – a long way from supermarket pork in any …
Last weekend’s warmth and sunshine may have departed but there is still more than a hint of Spring in the air.

For those looking to celebrate with a special meal, we have two stress-free possibilities this Valentine’s Weekend… The amorous might try our fabulous, native Fal oysters (pictured above) a real treat on …
Lots of winter greens this week. Cavolo Nero, Kale, Spinach, Chard and, of course, lots of wonderful Cabbage. My particular favourite at the moment is the wondrous January King (picture above) but we have white, red and sweetheart cabbages as well. Anyone feeling they need a tonic of minerals and vitamin C – these really …
