Nick & Susie Emmett very kindly asked us to get involved with Open Farm Sunday again this year.
Their farm which is at Oxborough in the heart of The Brecks is partially laid over to the stewardship scheme and thus is a treasure trove of wild flowers & grasses. They have a flock of about 100 sheep that they graze and a few head of Angus Cattle
This year we took 'Ethel' one of our Large Black gilts with eight of her week old piglets. We had a competition to see who could guess the name of the piglets.
Tony Hook of Norfocopia also got involved. Forager extraordinaire & based on what was the old Didlington Estate he cooked up spicy meatballs, belly and kebabs all from Scotts Field Pork, foraged foods and honey from White House Farm
Thomas guessed the name of Ethel's piglet
