Our family and how we began
we started all this in Lockdown 2020 when we started with 6 chickens from James’s old allotment in amble which he had when he was younger, we then thought why not get some pigs we ended up with 2 Tamworth gilts and since then we have multiplied with more pigs and Sheep.
we run a busy life with 2 day time jobs as well as being parents to S

we run a busy life with 2 day time jobs as well as being parents to Skyla, James & Dylan. We really enjoy raising our own livestock and showing our children how to produce their own food. which I must add my son will not eat anything other than our sausages and famous Chinese pork ribs (as he says)
