Or for a brief diary of events from September 2007 to September 2008:
Produced locally, sold locally
Home produced Lamb, Beef & Pork
A demand for quality, traceable, local produce led to the opening of the Farm Shop in 2004. All the lamb, beef and pork sold in the shop is from Old Farm animals and the butcher is in Long Compton keeping food miles to a minimum.
The cattle and sheep are grass fed and the beef is hung for 3 weeks. The pure bred Old Spot sows are now crossed with a Hamrock (Hampshire x Duroc) boar to produce "Glamrock" pork - tasty, succulent meat with just the right amount of fat to make great crackling! We now home cure and home smoke our own bacon and you can really taste the difference...
We have a small flock of free range laying hens and their eggs are proving very popular as you can't get them this fresh unless you have your own! We also stock other produce including cheese, butter, yoghurts, apple juice and ice-cream – all made on other local farms.
Most of the meat will always be available frozen, however we do have some fresh meat available every week. The plan is to have fresh lamb and pork every week, fresh beef 2 out of 4 weeks and fresh chicken once every 4 weeks. See below for a list of our fresh meat availability (this is a guide only and may vary due to availability of stock or customer demand - please call if you have any specific requirements). If there is a special cut you require then let us know and we can arrange this with our butcher.
| from 20th May | fresh lamb & chicken |
| from 27th May | fresh pork |
| from 3rd June | fresh pork & lamb (tbc) |
| from 10th June | fresh pork & lamb (tbc) |
Please note that this plan is subject to change and there is usually a good selection of frozen meat available at all times. Fresh meat is only generally available on Thurs/Fri/Sat.
We are now stocking Free Range Chicken and Guinea Fowl from Great Farm near Lechlade.
