Collected batch one of the sausages and pork - spent 4 hours with best mate Toni packing 640 sausages (Pork & Apple & Traditional) for approx. 4 hours, and there’s more to come! Enjoyed deliciously fresh hot dogs.

Eventful day loading the boys into our small trailer bound for The Cornish Farmhouse Bacon Co.  The trip was not without its problems, half way there the tube in the tyre of the trailer bust in the middle of a busy A-road to Holsworthy - jacked it up, changed it immediately and got on the way quickly and successfully.

Today we collected the 2nd addition to Riverside Cottage, not something we had particularly planned to do; but in our quest to provide only the freshest and best quality produce for our guests we purchased two 8-week-old, Gloucester Old Spot boars from a nearby farm in Broad Parkham.  The 2 boys are extremely lively little fellas and growing at a satisfactory rate and should be ready for the table around September or October 2010.  If all goes well this year, we plan for next Spring to buy four piglets with a view to keeping a boar and gilt so that we can breed our own pigs in the future.
