OUR NEIGHBOURS... There are lots of farm shops, pubs and small producers in and around Bolney, West Sussex. Here's a small selection that are really worth visiting.
This local farm, in Bolney, West Sussex, makes fantastic apple juice from lots of different apple varieties. You can also pick up some vegetables in their farm shop and some chutneys to go with any cold pork! Their apple juice helps make my favourite gravy. First rub salt into the scored fat of 2kg pork loin on the bone. Put it in a roasting tin with one of Wobblegates big Bramleys, quartered, and some shallots, peeled and halved. Then pour 250mls of their Cox and Bramley Mix Juice into the roasting tin. Cook the pork for 45mins at 180 deg c, then turn the heat up to 200 for another 45 mins. If the apple juice bubbles away top it up with a little more during the cooking time. When the free-range loin is cooked, let it rest on a board. Put the roasting tin on the hob, pour in a little red wine and about 250mls of stock. Scrape all the gooey bits of the bottom of the pan and let it bubble away for a bit. Then prepare yourself to taste the best gravy ever!
They are just around the corner from us or you can check Wobblegate out online.
Bookers Vineyard is really close by and is also in Bolney, West Sussex. So you could book in for a tour, or visit their shop. The vines are spread over 23 acres and they offer tastings. Bookers has won awards for their wines - read all about the Bolney Wine Estate online.
There are lots of country pubs nearby and The Cat Inn, in West Hoathley, serves up our pork. Max, the chef, uses produce from lots of small holders so it's a great place to try local produce that's had a happy life before heading to your plate! |
Learning about pigs
"The first rule of pig keeping - get wellies and waterproofs - you'll need them!"
I am happy to give anyone honest advice about rare breed pig keeping. So please email me questions and I will get back to you, info@muddylovely.com. If you want to go on a course, I would recommend Pig Paradise. Tony York runs the courses and knows everything there is to know about pigs. It really is a great day out. I went on the pig keeping course before I started out with pigs and haven't looked back! Tony is an expert on rare breeds. He even brought the Mangalitza, a curly coated breed, back to England after 34 years. You can expect to come away inspired and with a full belly - they serve up a roast that proves just how good the crackling and meat is from rare breed, free range pork. Tony says, "It's not pork, it's a mouthwatering eating experience." I agree - try some Muddy Lovely, free range, rare breed pork and you will as well! There's lots of info about Pig Paradise on their website. |
