Jo
Burrill  |
Jo bakes a wide variety of breads at home using local and organic ingredients where possible. Visit Jo twice a month at Hexham Farmers' Market on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month. Jo held an open day in her home kitchen on Saturday 21st April, 2007. "My kitchen was filled with the smells of baking bread and of people coming and going and some lingering. Children were curious and topped their own pizzas. Adults reminisced about the days before mass produced bread in a very friendly congenial atmosphere.The visitors were delightful, the day was hectic, but I thoroughly enjoyed it." she said. Don't miss Open Day 2008! |

Stubbs Garden Group

Elder Stubbs Services We run four services. These cover a range of opportunities. Three of these services are therapeutic work rehabilitation services. They are Elder Stubbs Garden Group (based in Oxford), the Beehive (based in Oxford), and RESTORE at Fleet Meadow (based in Didcot). These are land and craft based groups which provide a safe, supportive and work like environment that encourages positive change. We grow and sell organic vegetables, flowers, and plants. We also design and make things out of wood, paper, and clay. These activities provide people with the opportunity to create and to work in a group. Decisions are made together and everyone involved in the projects (staff and service users) contributes ideas and has a say in what is done. |

We are a small producer of traditional, free-range, rare-breed pork, bacon and gammon. We retain the 'old-fashioned' and environmentally friendly ways of keeping pigs - outdoors, in grassy paddocks, with lots of exercise and company and we do not use artificial pesticides. Our pigs' food contains no GM products, hormones or drugs and they also have fresh fruit and vegetables. Because of this, we have happy pigs and happy customers. |
 A Guide to Traditional Pigkeeping Carol Harris A fully illustrated and comprehensive reference book covering all aspects of traditional pig husbandry. With a strong emphasis on the conservation of both rare and traditional breeds it is aimed very much at the small-scale enterprise and includes day-to-day management issues such as housing, breeding, showing, sales, marketing, welfare, food regulations and organic pig keeping. It also has sections identifying breeds together with their histories, butchery, meat curing, sausage making and cooking. With contributions from many experts it contains clear text, numerous photos and a substantial resource section together with endorsements from Marcus Bates of the British Pig Association and chef and pig breeder Antony Worrall-Thompson. Hardback 192 pages. Price: £20 Group price available

Reviews of A Guide to Traditional Pig Keeping by Carol Harris 'An
absolute delight - either
to read from cover to cover if you are planning on venturing into the
pig-keeping teritory, or to casually flick through if you have an
interest in our pink portly friends and would like to find out a little
more...a comprehensive reference book covering every aspect of pig
husbandry that manages not to be overwhelming.' 'If
you're new to pig-keeping,
or want to increase your knowledge, the book is an excellent resource.
There's really nothing else like it out there, and we wish we'd had a
copy when we started out. It concentrates on traditional breeds, and
caters for the smallholder wishing to keep a small number of pigs, as
well as those who might be looking to get into breeding pigs.... We're
very impressed with all the sensible, practical advice the book
contains.' Purchase from: Farming Books and Videos Telephone: + 44 (0)1772 720671 |

Medium-legged, pedigreed Dexter cattle and a variety of coloured sheep receive the best of care here. Lesley also teaches smallholding skills, throws pots and spins. VISITORS ARE WELCOME by prior arrangement. They can also see our CRAFT GALLERY where chunky rugs woven from our own fleeces are on display together with items made from hand-spun wool, and STONEWARE POTTERY also made on the farm (you may try your hand at throwing too!). For a longer stay there is sometimes a four-berth caravan available (with gas/electric/TV and adjacent toilet/shower facilities) or you can bring your own tent and enjoy camping in the beautiful surroundings of rural Powys. Lesley's prize-winning wool products: throws, sheepskins, hats, jumpers plus carded and spun wool are now on display in a new shop in Hay-on-Wye called 'Wool and Willow' at no2 Backfield Lane. |
