The Missing bits from 2012 (Part Two) - Pictures from 'The Farm walk'


On May 25th last year we opened the gates to Scotts Field Pork for the day and welcomed about twenty guests. These included interested members of the press, the famous butchers with whom our business would not exist, our local MP Elizabeth Truss and her aide Fiona Walker.

The sun shone upon the righteous that day - I think it was the only weekend the entire summer when we had no rain.

Needless to say we had a fantastic time talking about Large Black Pigs to a captive audience and as usual 'our girls' wowed their guests. The response we have had since has been incredible form being nominated for both The Norfolk Food Hero & Countryside Alliance Rural Enterprise Awards to articles in both regional and national magazines and newspapers the latest being January's edition of LandLove Magazine.

Before I let the pictures paint a thousand words I would like to say a belated thank you to the neighbours and friends who helped us on the day - Oxburgh Hall who allowed us to use their car park, Debbie Hartley who did the on site catering, Lynda Eddy who co-ordinated the day, Susie Emmett who planned our PR campaign and last but not least Mark of Browns Kitchen and his amazing chefs who showed how our strong our  local food chain is by serving tea at his restaurant after the walk.

Many Thanks to all who came - we hope to see you again later this year.

Lunch ...


Consisted of Mrs Hartley's  famous sausage rolls and a pig cake she baked with Charlie's ham rolls & Johns pork pie - all made of course from Scotts Field Pork (except the cake which is a portrait!)
