l i q u i d v i t a l i t y p u r e V I T A L S Q U E E Z E fresh, seasonal juices made from locally sourced fruit & vegetables produced naturally without the use of chemicals, pesticides or fertilizers.
“liquid is vital to life… raw fruit & vegetable juices are said to be the richest available sources of vitamins, minerals & enzymes.” Anne McIntyre
Smooth, pulp-free liquids enter directly into the blood-stream, bi-passing the digestive system whilst simultaneously strengthening and supporting it. Vital Squeeze juices are therefore ideal for recovery from illness and the perfect excuse for a detox. As the trusty companion to a healthy diet Vital Squeeze juices can over time improve your resilience to infection, lift your mood and complexion and greatly boost your energy levels. One bottle of Vital Squeeze contains approximately 1/2kg of produce (& nothing else added!) - that’s most of your recommended daily allowance in one effortless draught…
Vital Squeeze juices are made to order. Recipes vary according to seasonal availability and inspiration but can also be adapted to your specific needs.
To place your order (with at least 24hrs notice) please contact: Odilia Jarman 80 Slad Road, Stroud GL5 1QZ 01453 756615 / 07791 670674 vitalsqueeze@gmail.com

We run Berkeley and Dursley Farmers' Markets in Gloucestershire and Downend, Emersons Green and Yate Farmers' Markets in South Gloucestershire. The Farmers' Market Organisers are also Producers who sell at the markets. We like to run markets that that have good facilities, are fun for customers to attend and financially worthwhile for producers. Some of our producers are very experienced; however, we also enjoy encouraging small scale and novice producers to try selling at their first Farmers' Market. Aims We aim to organise markets that provide a wide range of first quality, sensibly priced food and plants for local communities; run low cost markets with good facilities for producers, and link up with local groups, giving them opportunities for fundraising. Our producers live very near our Farmers' Markets, which cuts down food miles. We select producers who take a real pride in their produce and because of this, we can offer specialist foods of the highest quality. To contact us please e-mail info(at)severnfarmersmarkets.org.uk Or phone 01453 890383

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. Review 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.' Accidental Smallholder June 2005

Mr. & Mrs Pimlott |
The old farming traditions of producing slowly maturing beef cattle, and the love of horses (which both families once used to work the land) have been combined with the farm diversifying into two main areas. The traditionally reared English prime beef, gives a "QUALITY THAT TASTES", because we keep to the "old" standards of non-factory farming and feed non-genetically modified corn . Each animal is treated as an individual, allowed to be "free range" by grazing on long established grass pastures as long as the weather allows, and matures slowly. The farm is well suited to providing bed and breakfast horse riding holidays for guests with their own horse, as the area is very rural, tranquil, and within a steady hack of a 999 acre wood. There is ample space for horse boxes to do a "circular route" in and out of the yard, rather than having to reverse, and there is plenty of space to park the horse box, whether it be in the yard or the paddock. Horse turnout and stabling is supplied automatically. |

Chestnuts Farm produces vegetables, sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, eggs, and goats. Also, we just baled 320 small bales and 16 4ft round bales of late season hay, off our field, which has been run to WFA guidelines for the last 2 (? 3?) years and on the same basic principle for at least 5 years. It is more than we need, so we will have some for sale, if anyone is interested. Probably up to 100 small bales, and all the big ones. 17 September, 2007 |
