Join us in the new Butchery.

Pork Butchery, Curing and Sausage making (Basic Charcuterie)

We start at the beginning with a tour of the farm, meet our Oxford Sandy & Black pigs, Blue Faced Leicester, Swaledale & Mule Sheep and Longhorn Cattle, coffee & Bacon butties are served.  We then tog up in our butchers gear and get down to the carcass, talk about the tools of the trade and then cut a side of rare breed pork into primals. Once into primals we can decide what we are going to make, all the pork cuts, your own recipe sausage, bacon cures, maybe some guanciale or pancetta, gammon, ham and much more. Refreshments included: Coffee & bacon butties followed by a local lunch and tea & cakes are served in the afternoon. You will take away a good selection of your work including pork joints/cuts, sausages and cured goods.
