Wheelbarrow FULL of rainbow carrots and beets 🥕❤️💛
Left snug in the ground all winter and finally lifted for the pigs to munch on.
Bonus? Yesterday’s biblical rain did the washing up for me ⛈️⛈️⛈️
Homegrown veg, happy pigs, and nature pulling its weight — can’t argue with that.

Busy in the kitchen this week sheltering from the rain and using up the last of the vegetables....

Today's offering ready for February 14th 💘💘

❤️ Beetroot & Orange Spiced Chutney ❤️
Slowly simmered, deeply coloured, and gently spiced to warm the soul.
Earthy beetroot meets bright citrus and cosy winter spices — sweet, sharp with the right amount of warmth.
Made with love, bottled with care in small batches, and perfect for a Valentine’s cheese board, roast dinner, or sneaky spoon straight from the jar.
Because flowers fade… but chutney lasts 💋🫣

Thank you to everyone who dropped off Christmas trees today.... the goats tucked in before I even had a chance to start unloading. Very happy goats...... 🐐🎄🐐🎄

The goats will happily eat your christmas trees and recycle them... they just need to be untreated and naked 😉 (the tree, not the goats)
Please leave at the smallholding gates or message me (sorry I can't collect)

Well… that’s a wrap! 🦃🥕🍯
The turkeys, veg boxes, eggs and chutney boxes have all been safely delivered.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported my little smallholding this year and chose to buy local. It genuinely means the world. 💛
A year’s worth of graft, planning, sun, mud, weather-watching, and late nights — done and dusted.
Now it’s time to put the kettle on, enjoy Christmas, and start dreaming up 2026… because there’s plenty more of the same to come (and maybe a few new ideas too 😉).
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas 🎄✨
Thank you for backing small, local, and home-grown.

🎄 Christmas Veg Box deliveries are in full swing! 🎄
With the added bonus of catching up with some truly fabulous customers along the way.
It’s incredibly rewarding to see all the hard work that goes into growing high-quality, tasty, local food heading off to be enjoyed on Christmas Day. That’s what it’s all about ❤️
Thank you for supporting local this festive season 🎄🥕🥔🎄
