    25 August 2017 On The Farm
    When we started the farm 15 years ago, our vision was to produce high quality meat from the rare-breed, free-range pigs we traditionally reared on our acreage in Suffolk. 15 years may not seem a long time ago, but anyone...

  • “Advice to my younger self”

    07 July 2017 On The Farm

  • “October is here! How did that happen?”

    26 September 2016 On The Farm
    Our new menu is well under way. Seasonality is key and this month we’re still reaping what we’ve sown earlier in the year. Squashes, greens and root vegetables from our garden coupled with our rare-breed meats give us a taster of...

  • “Simple and true”
