Still playing stand-in while James completed his weekend bender to celebrate his best friend's birthday, I dragged dear husband along to Hylands Park, to sell our rare breed beef at the farmers marke...
James went off to a wedding this weekend & I stood in, roping in my dear new husband for moral support (and to lift the heavy stuff of course). Yesterday we took some of Jim's fabulous rare breed...
I took the sister to Long Melford Farmers Market today, so that she can cover for me in a few weeks time when I'm off to a friend's wedding. We did have to keep telling people we were brother and sis...
Tomorrow we'll be at Long Melford Farmer's Market - in the lovely village hall there. It runs from 10am til 1pm so do pop in if you're nearby and come and say hello. We'll be selling fresh beef from ...
This I think is a reason to get up in the morning.
Apologies for being lax about keeping you all informed with the farm in the recent weeks. I have been incredibly busy with one thing and another, including getting roped in to helping prepare my sist...
Well, since being photographed for the paper and having produced piglets which win competitions, Tallulah, our Ginger Tamworth sow, has become a bit of a Prima Donna!When the photographer came to tak...
What a fantastic weekend!My sister has already said we are Jimmy's Farm UK Sausage Producer of 2009, beating off competition from around the country. It has definitely been a combination of our slow ...
We've won our first award! This weekend we went to the Sausage and Beer Festival at Jimmy's Farm & won the UK PRODUCER OF THE YEAR for our sausages!! Now, we only make one kind of sausage, so didn't ...
So, the combine is busy and all the tractors are racing about the lanes. With a couple of near misses in the car I can assure you it pays to drive carefully at this time of year!!! For me this time o...
Having said goodbye to both of our breeding Saddleback boars, Christopher and Broadband, we are now down to only one pig of breeding size, Taloola, the Tamworth sow. Fortunately I have just managed t...
So we have Bantams and Ducks. We have had them now for about two months. Unfortunately we lost Mr Scruff and a quacker to the dastardly fox so we are calling in the back up and getting ourselves a co...
The last post depresses me every time I look at it so I thought I might post some more cheerful, colourful pictures from happier times. Jim
Due to recent changes on the farm we have decided to breed Tamworth Pigss which we can register. This unfortunately means that Christopher, our boar for 5yrs, has had his day. Christopher the gentle ...
Hi All. I thought I would upload some of the images I have created over the last year from when I was on Honeymoon in Africa. They are in a completely different style to the work I have been doing of...
Sooooo. My sister has left the site and I am next to useless when it comes to updating anything! I can already feel the collective sigh of disappointment sweeping through the users looking for anothe...
I'm going to leave my dear brothers to create posts for this blog from the farm and I'm off... to make a new blog about all the things that interest me but AREN'T farm-related (you might have seen a ...
I got a Luxemail today from the delightful SheerLuxe and they introduced me to Supernice, purveyors of funky stickers and decals. After spending far too long browsing through their great designs than...
Feeling nostalgic (and cold!) I bought a pot of Bovril this week. In the past I'd have it on buttery toast but for the first time I made it into the hot drink it's known for... and it's delicious!Che...
My wonderful fiancé got Valentine's Day absolutely right when at 00.01am last night he handed me Lena Corwin's beautiful Printing By Hand. I was very sleepy but I couldn't resist a little peek into a...
Really, truly, I cannot get enough of it. With or without milk... best with vanilla ice cream!Juliet D-H
Essex was flooded today and here's the evidence! My bro just sent me this pic - that's at least a foot and a half of water and he's balancing on the bottom rung of the fences with a boot full of very...
This is a great midweek supper as it's quick, easy & cheap. It works equally well if you substitute lambs liver or heart instead of the kidneys. Just pick the nutrient you'd like a boost of:Lamb ...
So while I have not written much since the new year I have been very busy on the farm. While everybody is having days off willy nilly because of the weather some have to work whatever mother nature t...
Mum finally gave us one of our favourites from the secret recipe book in her head. It's really too good to keep to ourselves so of course we're sharing it! This really can't be beaten as an easy way ...
