Good - Life Farming

31/05/2026

Sorry, sorry, sorry! I’ve been absolutely useless on here this weekend, but it’s actually been a massive weekend for the Good-Life Farming family.

We’ve had food demonstrations galore!

Farmer D was at Scone Palace Garden Fair on Friday and Saturday, where I was also busy coordinating the Perth Farmers' Market area, including the cookery theatre and demonstration programme. It was fantastic to see talented chefs showcasing produce from the traders.

On Friday, Sarah Rankin Cooks used our Rose Veal escalopes in her demonstration, creating a delicious dish and introducing even more people to our produce.

On Saturday, Fraser Bell from 63 Tay Street used both our Rose Veal and Rare Breed Pork in two of the six dishes he showcased. He served our Rose Veal brisket with macaroni cheese – not a combination we’d ever thought of, but it looked and tasted incredible! He also gave us all some inspiration for Taco Tuesday with Rare Breed Pork tacos made using hot honey from Cloverlea Apiaries -'The Friendly Bee Company'. We’re seriously considering that one as a future street food special. Definitely food for thought… see what I did there?

Meanwhile, over in Livingston, Betsy Anderson chose our Rare Breed Pork mince for her demonstration at the West Lothian Producers Market.

Needless to say, between all the demonstrations we now have no pork mince or Rose Veal brisket left!

We are beyond proud that our produce was selected by these talented chefs and demonstrators. They all did a fantastic job of showcasing what local producers can offer, and we’re incredibly grateful for their support.

A huge thank you to Sarah, Fraser and Betsy, and to everyone who came along to watch, taste, ask questions and support local producers this weekend. What a weekend it’s been! 🐷🐄🍴👏

West Lothian… we are coming for you this weekend! 🎉🐖

We’ll be at the West Lothian Producers Market on BOTH Saturday and Sunday this month and we are bringing all the good stuff with us.

Our Rare Breed Pork has been chosen for one of the demo’s in the demo kitchen on Saturday, so make sure you pop along and see it being put to very good use! 👨‍🍳🔥

As always, we’ll also be firing up the trusty trailer and cooking our own meat all weekend because apparently we like to keep ourselves busy! 😅

And to completely spoil you all, we’ll have BOTH veal and pork available this weekend. Whether you’re stocking the freezer, planning the BBQ or just fancy something tasty for dinner, we’ve got you covered.

Quick favour for everyone with orders waiting for collection 👇
Could you let us know if you’re planning to collect on Sunday as usual or if Saturday would suit you better this weekend? It helps us get organised before the madness begins!

See you all there! 🐄🐖

Wow, what a day yesterday!

Farmer D and the girls had an amazing time at Fife Show. Everyone was in high spirits and so many familiar faces popped by for a catch up and to see us. Every purchase and order placed yesterday is hugely appreciated — we are so grateful for all the support.

Meanwhile, I was at Kinross with the trailer and Daddy dear. As someone pointed out to us at the end of the day, “Every time I looked over, you were queued!” …and honestly, that sounds about right! We were incredibly well supported there too and had another amazing day.

So, a massive thank you to every single one of you who came along, stopped for a chat, bought from us, or supported us in any way. It truly means the world.

No pictures as we were simply far too busy! So instead, here’s a lovely picture of the girls enjoying themselves at Fife Show, courtesy of the lovely Jane… and of course Lexi, who appears to have fully embraced her role as the official market dog! 🐾

Finishing up the last bits of packing and prep for tomorrow and Ailidh has already made a start on dinner! What a champ! 👏🐷

Our Rare Breed Pork escalopes are on the menu tonight and I can’t wait!

Don’t worry though, as a firm favourite we have plenty available this weekend at both Fife Show and Kinross Market, alongside all our other cuts of Rare Breed Pork.

Ribs, fillet, sausages, shoulder and much more! 🐖🔥

Under the very watchful eye of Lexi aka the big sook, we are all set up and ready for Fife Show tomorrow 🐶👀

Farmer D and his 2 glamorous assistants… aka the bosses… will be there, so pop by, catch up with them and report back if they are behaving themselves 🤭

“Where are you going to be?” I hear you ask…

Well, it’s daddy and daughter day at Kinross Market this weekend. Dad has been dragged kicking and screaming out of retirement again. What… twice in 4 weeks?! I know, right! I spoil you all 😂

Whether you’re at Fife Show or Kinross Market KLEO, we’ve got you covered this weekend 🚜 🐷

“Best stall at the market!” 😂❤️

That’s what my wild burd pal shouted at me on her way out the market yesterday.

Now, that’s what pals are supposed to do isn’t it? Lift you up, cheer you on and make you smile… even if they are talking absolute nonsense 🤣 but honestly, it made my day all the same. That, and the fact I’d seen her twice in one week! Huge hugs, big smiles and chaotic energy… I’d expect nothing less.

Anyway… our wild burd friend started at the produce stand and picked up some ribs. Excellent choice 👏 Then her eyes darted over to the food trailer and the excitement levels went through the roof because she realised she was getting lunch from us too.

THEN… another squeal of excitement when she spotted we were using Jakesstreetfood sauces 😂 honestly, you’d think she’d won the lottery. The dramatic announcement followed:
“I’M USING HIS BBQ SAUCE I BOUGHT LAST WEEK ON THESE RIBS TONIGHT”

Honestly, the excitement from this gal was absolutely off the scale 🤣❤️

But genuinely, her visit really cheered me up. She’s one in a million and the kind of person everybody needs in their corner. So when I saw the sneaky little video she made of us yesterday, it honestly melted my heart a bit.

Markets are hard work, long days and sore feet… but it’s people like this that make it all worth it.

I swear we have the best customers 😁❤️

Earlier this week we teased that Farmer D had some news to share… 👀

Well, seeing as it’s his birthday today, we thought it was the perfect time for the big reveal 🎉🥳

Meet Lexi 🐶

Farmer D got his birthday present (self-chosen, of course 😂) last week and she’s fitting into farm and family life brilliantly already. He’s absolutely loving working with her.

Maybe now he will stop trying to swap customers’ dogs for meat 😅

Let’s all wish Farmer D a huge Happy Birthday 🥳
