Our honey has won some prizes!

We are really pleased with the excellent feedback we had at the Midland and South Western Counties Convention of Beekeepers on the 6th. September 2014.
Nikki entered honey in two classes: 'Light honey' and 'Two cut comb'.
The light honey won a 'Highly commended' and the two cut comb won a 1st. prize!

Home made bacon

We make our own bacon using Gloucester Old Spot, a rare breed pig,  from Sudeley Hill Farm, Winchcombe.
These sides of pork (loin and belly) have been dry cured in our own special curing salt for 6 days, are now hanging in the cold well-ventilated air of our garage to loose some moisture and dry out a little.
