Plan Bee at the Co-Op.... Free Seeds!

Wildflowers are an important source of nutrition for pollinators, yet 97% of the UK’s wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s. That’s why Plan Bee has given away 1.2 million packets of wildflower seeds since 2009. 

Request your free packet of seeds from the Co-Op via the link below and get involved!

Bees at work in our garden...

Can you spot the pollen this little bee has collected on its back leg? 

During a rare spell from the rain we got a good look at our bees collecting pollen from our pear trees - we brought the bees back to our garden to try and get a higher fruit yeild and fingers crossed its working! 

More fruit AND lovely honey, we really can't complain :-) 

New Arrivals!

A big welcome to Scoops' five little piglets born over Easter - Scoops is doing really well for a first time Mum - and the babies are growing quickly! Scoops is a Pedigree Saddleback Sow - Mum and babes are all settled in and we're looking forward to watching them scoot around the smallholding...

Piglets on the way!

After checking on our Saddleback Sow Scoops this morning we found she was nesting! Dragging sticks and hay into her ark preparing for her new babies. Scoops is a first time Mum so its even more exciting! Nesting means babies are imminent so we're really hoping for some Easter piglets! Will post updates as they happen...

Cardona & Son at your next event?

We've got some great events under our belt - most notably The Rotary Club's Food and Wine Festival last November and CAMRA's Beer and Cider Festival earlier this month. Over 900 servings of British rare breed pork dished up to hungry locals just in those two events alone!



We've had a fantastic time meeting and talking to many in the local community and hopefully converting some tastebuds to the wonders of British rare breed pork and the benefits of eating food which is locally produced. We're really passionate about food and supporting the local community - and we're glad that lots of you out there are too!

We've just signed up to The Letchworth Food & Garden Festival on the 19th and 20th May which we're really excited about - Another chance to meet lots of locals and there'll be LOADS of great food to try out :-) We'll definitely be taking some samples home...

So if you're running an event - whether its big or small (we do private parties too!) we'd love to hear about it. Just give us a call or drop us a line and hopefully we'll be adding you to our calendar too!
