we were lucky enought to supply some of our tasty organic pork to “celebrity” Chef Gerard Baker for his stand at the Abergavenny Food Festival. It all seemed to go very well and customers delighted with the taste and quality of our meat – Thanks Gerard ! If you were at this event pelase let us know what you thought…. The pork was from the Tamworth x Berkshire pigs bred from eleanor the sow early in the year – we have one of these left now to give us fresh pork to offer at the upcoming Beechenhurst Food Fair - our closest food fair – early next month.

Four piggies to the butcher this week in preparation for an upcoming food fair at Abergavenny… we are supplying lots of tasty organic sausages and some bacon too. Meanwhile, Eleanor the sow has farrowed- five healthy piglets followed some hours later by two more ! Well done her. Last year shed had ten but this year we tried a different boar (Oxford Sandy) to try and get leaner meat. We will see !

welcome to our organic blog !
surely no-one would give up a secure, well paid job and start out in organic farming in the middle of the credit crunch ?
well, here we are in the heart of the Forest of Dean, 15 miles west of Gloucester, England, doing exactly that… Hopefully this blog will be a record of what we are doing, what we are trying to do, and what others think of us trying to do what we do !

- Gloucester Old Spots – Learning to Love the open air
Our new G.O.S piglets learning to love the open air, foraging and generally living the good life. Despite the wet summer they seem to have settled in and are very much enjoying themselves. We feed them organic pigmeal from a local supplier, supplemented by whey from our local organic cheesemaker and windfall apples from our own small orchard. Hopefully in due course we will be able to taste the benefit !
