Charcuterie is often referred to as ‘the dark art’ because everyone has a different method and opinion on how it should happen – there is little written down, more so handed on from generation to generation. Traditionally it was the perfect way to extend the meat supply long before the era of refrigeration – so the bounty of the summertime could be enjoyed long into the cold dark winter months when protein was well in demand. There are some amazing producers starting to establish themselves in the UK though few have the short food chain we enjoy by using our own pigs.

The first quarter of the year is always the ‘Doom Month’ for farmers, and sadly, more and more don’t make it through every year. The weather is a battle; the animals need more food to keep healthy and dry beds and lots of straw to sleep cosy and warm. The man/woman hours required to sort all this is immense. This doubles and triples costs – yet after the indulgences of Christmas – food, and where it comes from, is the last thing on people’s minds!
Please support your farmers and growers during the most challenging time of the year. Please do your shopping at the Farm Shops and the Farm Gate. The Supermarkets can weather the ‘cold’, but Farms need that extra help, especially right now!
