Latest From the G and S Farm:


The Weather is really starting to change now, it's noticeably colder this week. Autumn is definitely in full swing, and the animals are starting to feel it as much as we are.

We spent some time last week putting in extra bedding for the pigs, although they seemed more interested in watching us work than snuggling down in all that warm, cozy straw.


Even Fearnley the cat came along to help:



The Pigs have also been pigging out(!) on the remains of our courgette harvest. They are not as fussy as us, and have happily eaten the whole plants:



Whinnie the mare is eating us out of house and home, but doesn't seem to putting on any weight at all, which is more than can be said for her foal, who is looking fat and extremely hairy! some pictures will follow in the coming posts.

This week we have finally managed to source some turkeys. We will rear them at home on the farm, however, we will not be able to call them organic because their lives will not have started organically. We will rear them to organic standards from now on, but will be selling them as free range. They will be reared to our usual high standards. No GM or nasty chemicals.
On that note, Christmas is fast approaching, and the time has come to get your Christmas food order in with G and S organics. You can order your turkey, veg, Christmas pudding, and any dairy and meat products you need from the website,
