Photographic Proof! Ben Nevis

At Ben Nevis summit! (that's me on the right...)

So - This little post is for all of those who needed photographic proof of our climb up Ben Nevis. I'd like to say a really big thank you to all of those who sponsored us - especially The Two Brewers in Stotfold and Cardona & Son clients who are new friends to us and were very generous and supportive. The climb was NOT a stroll (as it was described to us by many people who had obviously not climbed it!!), but was a fantastic challenge and the entire group raised over £45,000 for The Alzheimer's Society which will go towards research as well as support for sufferers of Alzheimer's and their families. 

Woop! So happy and cold!

My amazing friend Fotoulla who volunteered to climb with me - still smiling on the way up... 

On the way up and it looks deceptively dry... It rained for the most part! 

Moving on from The Rusty Gun...

After over a year spent setting up the farm and supplying pork to the kitchen at The Rusty Gun in St Ippolyts we've handed over the reigns - It was a strange feeling after spending so much time there and putting so much hard work in to think we won't be making the daily round trip anymore to check up on the pigs.

It was great to see the punters tucking in to our lovely pork and we enjoyed chatting to families in the garden about the pigs and explaining the importance of keeping the great British breeds going - there was no argument on a Sunday how amazing that crackling was!

But they say a change is as good as a holiday, and we're excited about growing our meat box delivery side of the business - we've had some fantastic feedback from local families about the quality of our pork, so we'll be continuing to source British rare breeds from the area as well as breed our own stock here in Stotfold.

So, with a fridge fully laden with delicious rare breed sausages we look forward to hearing from you all soon :-)
