Have a quick read of this if you have a spare minute.

This is the same concept as what I am promoting with our beef and lamb. I can tell you which field our cattle have been in and what they have been eating. You also have the reassurance that it has been born and reared right here at Drumsleed and not shipped in from another country where there aren’t the same regulations we have here.

A tale of two garlic bulbs…

I was preparing tea last night and grabbed some garlic from the bowl, can you tell which is our home grown garlic?

One of these bulbs was planted in soil that is managed as part of a five year rotation, it was fertilised with cover crops and manure from our animals. Cloves were planted in the autumn by our veg team and hand weeded over the winter and early spring. Delicious garlic scapes were collected from them and then when they were ready to harvest they were hand pulled and dried on a trailer in the Scottish sun. You can still see streaks of soil on its papery skin.

The other was bought from our local supermarket and travelled thousands of miles from China to get here. We have no idea how it was grown or who grew it.

There is definitely an argument for imported food but should we be importing food that we can grow perfectly well here?

The recent salmonella problem in eggs is a perfect example, why are we even importing eggs?

Some food for thought for a Tuesday!

What about this for a beautiful Sunday roast?? 😍😍

A 2kg Silverside which could feed a family and have loads left over for stovies or beef sandwiches through the week. 🍽️

Our half lamb boxes are here and we have one spare if anyone is interested?

They contain mince, rolled leg, rolled shoulder, diced shoulder, double loin chops, shank, rack and flank.

These are great value for money at £150 per box and have at least 20% free, made even better by the fact they have been reared and finished here on the farm.

PM if you would like to reserve. 🙂

My wee helper for the morning!

I had my little helper with me on Monday getting some lambs ready to go away.

Keep an eye on your messages for those who have ordered lamb boxes, I’m hoping they will be ready in the next few days.

We will have another batch of lambs in a couple of weeks if anyone would like to order a half lamb box.

We have a couple of spare half lamb boxes available if anyone would be interested?

We put these away today so should be ready by the end of the week.

Please DM me if you would like one.
