This blog is primarily cake-recipe based, but, from time to time, I will include some savoury ones too. I also like to write about my travels and encounters, especially if they involve great food. I speak as I find. Opinions expressed are my own, and not sponsored, requested, or paid for by others, unless specifically stated.

A Grand Day Out at Oldfarm


Some food bloggers were recently invited by Margaret and Alfie, who own and run Oldfarm, to come along and taste some flavour combinations for Pork Burgers which they are working on at the moment.  They hope to include these burgers on the existing list of their own Free-Range Pork and Bacon products, which are available to order online.

    Gosh, well done on getting your post up so quickly! And such lovely photos... even the outdoor one's don't show all that rain!

    Thank you, Margaret, took me all day to sort through them all. No rain, in my pics. Glad you liked them.

    It sounds as though you all had a lovely day, Colette. I wish I'd been there to enjoy it too *envy*

    It was a lovely day, Sharon. It is great to get out and about to see how real food is produced.

    Thank you, Lorna. It was lovely catching up with Margaret and Alfie again, and meeting Móna and Lily too. I have lots of photos of the pigs, but they move so fast, it's hard to get good ones. The food was gorgeous!

    There is no rain in my photos too. This is such a lovely rendition of our day together. The Chef and I enjoyed the break form the kids for a few hours and trapsing around in the muck with everyone was great. Margaret and Alfie are such lovely and open people and you can feel that by the welcome feeling they have created in their home and on their farm. Lovely to have met you and John, Colette, and we look forward to our next gathering . . .

    Thank you for your comment, Móna. I don't think we noticed the rain after a while! We really enjoyed all aspects of the day. Hope to see you again soon too.

    Thanks for your comment, Catriona. Margaret's free-range pork sausage rolls are absolutely divine, as are all the products on offer. You should visit. It's a lovely place to go.

    I love the taste of real food. And the opportunity of seeing how it is grown is great. It used to be such a normal thing to rear animals, my grandma had chickens in the garden, my uncle reared pigs

    Thanks for your comment, Magda. My Gran was the same, reared chickens for her own table, and kept turkeys for sale at Christmas. It's just what was done then. You should visit Oldfarm, it's a lovely place with great people, and amazing pigs (with fab flavour too).
